Great idea! I actually like all of it so far, except one thing. The "social love animation," while cute, is misleading to my eyes; my brain is trained such that when it sees little objects moving into a larger object like that, I'm in a waiting period. It feels like a progress bar, if you will.
As a result, I sat there for 2 minutes or so (alternately reading elsewhere about the site), and was wondering if it was working or why it was taking so long. _Then_ I read the page. I'm just accustomed to not reading text while things are moving in that manner.
Let me know if I'm not making sense; I can attempt to clarify.
- jasontan 16y agono, you absolutely make sense. other comments also point out this problem. previously, Find My Buzz was more like an "instant feedback" product, instead of a wait-for-your-emailed-report -- the animation sequence was displayed while they waited. we ditched the "instant" part, but thought the animation was too cute to let go... alas, we must do what's best for the user!
