Seems hard to believe it could be "faster to learn" to memorize the
graph positions of hundreds of objects, rather than simply viewing
lists of text or thumbnails. With all of these new GUIs that are being
toyed with, I notice they rarely show more than a few dozen bits of
information at once.

What happens when you need to work with thousands of items, not
uncommon with say, Photoshop or HTML files? I can see applications for
this for presentations, but for a day to day operating system, it
seems quite limiting and frustrating.

The scaling slider on the right can compress/expand fairly large number of
items and the fisheye action (or whatever animation effect the Dock uses for
enlarging focused items is called) lets you navigate. I used it to go
through one of my iTunes libraries of about 50GB, that issue alone wasn't
the biggest problem. :-)

RE: [Sigia-l] Liquid browsing

Belongs to the "looks cool, don't get it" family of UI's.  Perhaps our grand
kids will say "can you believe they used to use solid browsing in the old
days?"

RE: [Sigia-l] Liquid browsing

I didn't get it either: it could do with the website needing to be parsed over a
good-editor-stroke-marketing-copy-editor's desk to help explain what, why & how a little more
clearly? 'tho I think you're right Seth - I may well be of the solid browsing generation... or perhaps just
need it in my hands to play with for a bit before I can see the point of it?
