Experimental Page Layout Inspired By Flipboard

This may be great on a touch device, but usability suffers massively with a mouse or track pad. The effect looks nice enough, but I am rarely in favor of sacrificing usability for style.

This isn't inspired by it. It is a copy of it.

It's great, isn't it?

Looks great and works great on the latest iPad. Nice work and I appreciate the attention to detail - shadows, transitions, etc (even if it's cribbed from another application).

To help with usability on a regular PC (as decultured mentioned) I'd recommend a zone for auto-flipping without the drag on a regular mouse-based browser.

Why can't I read the text at the bottom? I can't seem to scroll down.

Try resizing the page.

Wow. I would love to read or see a more detailed demo of how that effect is done on the images. Wow, much cooler than I'd hoped for.
