Re: [RC] Spiffy new look to the website! OR Broad & Shallow vs. Narrow & Deep - Linda MiramsOn Sun, 21 Jan 2007 20:22:31 -0800, Laney Humphrey wrote I kinda think maybe I understood a little bit of what you said. I must say I don't enjoy browzing the new classified format nearly as much as I did the old because it's just too much work to get down to the pertinent info: size, age and then back out. But I've gotten brainwashed I guess into accepting that fancier set ups like the new version are what the web will look like. Since I only window shop, I'll just probably do less of it since it isn't as much fun any more. It's OK. I know something that may help convince John :-) John, draw a finite state diagram of the user's interaction with the old interface, then draw one of the new interface. That is what the Xerox PARC computer-human interface people do. The more nodes, the more loops, the less symmetric the picture, the worse the interface is.
