Re: FLASH: ifuse.com needs critique

[Olga]

I only glossed through the site, but my two cents are--- the looping nav on

the front is distracting.  If you need it to loop, can you eliminate the

text  from each section (showing them only on rollover, not in the anim)

Personally, I try to read each line and am annoyed that it zips by through

fast...  it's confusing because it presents either an irritating passive

experience or a semi-disguised interactive experience.  The user has to

think a bit more before realizing it _is_ interactive, and the anim just

loops forever that way.


The text on ifuse tv is WAY too small.  (I'm on 1024x768).


I *want* to click on the banners in the lower right.  Right now clicking

yields up nothing.  Same for the cool little animated squares under fuse

2.0.


I like the esteelo layout, but there also might be a bit too anim in that...

slow down the ticker under today in fuse and maybe make it smaller?  Right

now it competes with the subsections in esteelo and the article... it should

be more unassuming that that.


Overall I like it, my problems come in where the animations get too heavy--

a little distracting when there are 5 different points of focus on the page.

(Even for a gen-x. ;)  ..speaking from experience, cuz I think I fall pretty

close to your target audience. :)
