Chris,
I have used a right-hand menu successfully for thumbnail driven sites
as well as one online application principally to reduce the distance
from the scroll bar to the menu... as well as to break with
convention. My take on this goes like this: What are they doing and
how could it help or hinder? does it get in the way or does it reduce
that annoying back and forth crossing of the page by the mouse to move
from the scroll bar to a contextual menu... sorry I don't believe in
convention... put design to facilitate getting the job done... if we
continually assume there wont be any innovation, if we don't try how
will we know any better? It might not work for your needs, or it
could be the right place at the right time. Granted, it wont be the
easiest sell... you do have to overcome the naysayers... as you have,
it seems, already encountered.
