I prefer looking only at the information that is relevant to the current task. Having everything on one page reduces the time to switch contexts, but increases the effort required to process information in the current context.

Maybe something that made it easy to switch between contexts while preserving information hiding would be preferable. (keyboard shortcuts perhaps)

Good Suggestion. I could create a feature that would hide the news panel when you click on an article link, maybe turn it to a thin orange vertical bar running along the left side? Maybe a toggle preference feature, such as clicking comments above the article expands comments but collapse the article? Definitely things I could work in as user preference choices.

Dang it, I had this same idea a while back, except with pre-loading the pages so you can mouseover titles on the left and the story instantly pops up on the right.

This would help get through Reddit way faster -- just slowly move the mouse downward and zoom through all the [PIC] and misleading title submissions.

I like it, I'm definitely going to use this. The comments button at the top didn't seem to work on every page. But works good none the less.

Yeah, I noticed that after click on the "More" link and browsing the second page of articles, that I ran into some problems with the comments bar. Sometimes it takes clicking on the comments link for the article. I will look into fixing this.
