Sick of getting low numbers of useless traffic for your website? Well i wish to share with you a brand new underground tactic which makes me personally $900 per day on 100% AUTOPILOT. I could truthfully be here all day and going into detail but why dont you simply check their website out? There is really a great video that explains everything. So if your seriously interested in making easy money this is the website for you. Auto Traffic Avalanche

I think you tried to over-rationalize the interface. I /want/ to scroll around arbitrarily. People don’t rd evry singl letr to fnd meaning in words, nor do they read an entire article. they skim around and read a few sentences here and there, look at the illustrations, etc. The keyboard control is great, but I second Darrell’s desire for a better mousing interface.

You’re mistaken that using the keyboard to step forward/backward in makes it a “continuous” experience akin to reading a printed page. It’s true that in a printed magazine you can’t see the page behind the one you’re looking at, but this is tolerable because most magazines can handle more than 200 odd words per page. (I’d like to be able to scale the text using my browser control, as well)

As a user, I’d rather not be forced to click click push click/wait just to get to content nor do I enjoy motion blur effects on text (or Flash in general). Your critiques of the current online magazine format are valid, but I think it has a way to go yet.

readability is good and navigation fairly straightforeward. But I think you’re missing the boat by giving the articles themselves a pure text presentation. The REASON I still read paper magazines is the content design that merges photos, graphic design and writing.

Take a look at http://www.smashingmagazine.com/the-death-of-the-blog-post/ for great examples of the kind of things that we SHOULD be seeing in our on-line reading.

Great work,

Just tried to demo. It did not support non-englich characters (Turkish etc). Sure this function will be added.

Thats all for now, will try more.

Best,

Baris.
