As web professionals, we all know that the concept of the page fold being an impenetrable barrier for users is a myth. Over the last 6 years we’ve watched over 800 user testing sessions between us and on only 3 occasions have we seen the page fold as a barrier to users getting to the content they want.

When the idea came up, we thought “wow, this is really innovative and smart”. But quickly we found out that we had not invented anything: Tupperware has been doing for years. And since 1907 a famous movement has functionned in a similar way, groups of people getting together following guidelines expressed in a book. It is of course Scouting.

"FluidIA est un projet de logiciel de prototypage pour les designers par les designers. Jakub Linowski, qui s’est fait connaitre dans la profession grâce à son blog Wireframe Magazine, propose de développer ce projet sur le mode collaboratif, en récoltant les retours d’expérience des designers qui auront testé le logiciel, voir l’auront utilisé en production et en compilant les suggestions. L’application en est encore à ses balbutiements, mais le concept de base est déjà posé : l’accent est mis sur les interfaces riches, où la notion d’état, plutôt que de page, est privilégiée"

A surreal concept where there is a city of no horizon. I love how it looks on the shirt, endless flow of river towards bottom and infinite extension of sky towards top.
De fait, je n'ai rien contre le concept du pourboire : serveur de restaurant dans mes années de bohème, je connais bien le processus qui permet aux petits ruisseaux de se transformer en grande ...
