[Sigia-l] Liquid browsing

[seth]

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?"

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.
