It should work with minimum clicks. Keep it elegant Carousals are a elegant way to display content without reloading the whole page. It is one of the latest trends based on visual appeal and space effectiveness. Check out Global Spotlight in http://global.nytimes.com/. Rotates automatically untill user intervenes. Or, http://www.yahoo.com/ where the snippets appear on mouse over.. that saves a lot of clicking. More examples - http://webexpedition18.com/articles/slide-and-glide-amazing-slider-examp les/ I think you can set the timing according to the content.

Should we have a pause, stop button? Should they be rotating at all? I saw that Yahoo Lifestyle recently added command buttons to their pages http://ca.lifestyle.yahoo.com/. I personally have never believed in their efficiency in conveying multiple messages but it looks like I am stuck with them. I want to at least make the user's experience as easy as possible. I have looked for articles and research to prove my point but have not found much. I hope you guys can help, Thoughts?
