  It's uses hover and zoom to navigate. not clicking. Did you watch one of the videos?

    yes. Sorry, but it's also slower than evolution. Using hover instead of click doesn't save me time, it wastes more of it.

      I would agree in some cases. I only said you don't use click to navigate because I didn't understand what your issue was. You can click out anywhere... On the title, the nav bar, or the web links. That will open in a new tab. Would that address the speed/clicking usability.? btw, sorry to hijack this thread.

    It's also incredibly slow, though. I think that is what axod was referring to. The UI gets in the way of what actions you want to perform.

      Thanks. I am tweaking the experience as to not have the UI in the way. I see some of that as well. Where is the slowness you have? The pics loading, or the hover reacting? I don't have any.. except when previewing the hovered sites and waiting for them to load. the feedback is really appreciated.

        Actually, the page loading is pretty good. The important thing about that is you show a loading icon, so I know to wait a bit. Some of the slowness seems to be the initial loading, because the responsiveness improves after the first visit. Since the background images seem to mostly be eye-candy, you might want to think about removing them. They also make your first visit to the site more confusing (in my opinion). I also see some slowness in the hover and zooming, and that seems to stick around so I don't think it is a loading issue. You might want to reconsider the amount of animation that is done by the hovering; I already know where my mouse is, and some of the actions seem to simply highlight that. I hope this helps, and thanks for putting your stuff up for us to play with.
