A colleague sent me a link to a cool site, Topix. It uses a pretty freaky interface that may or may not blow up in your face if you're not using a pretty recent browser with all the Javascript goodies enabled.
Your challenge: visit the site, enjoy the experience, then pop back here and let everyone know what you think - how it works, how it navigates, how it feels. Also see if you can find the Pillsbury Doughboy/Got Milk spot. Very cute stuff!

That site rocks!! I loved clicking on the pics and seeing the ads. I am sending this link to my daughter; she'll love it.
I will check it more when I have time.
We are leaving to see a sneek preview of the new Star Wars movie. Hooray!!!!!
Very nice! I would love to learn how to do that. In the meantime, I'm amazed by creating minimal animation in Flash, where things just appear or fade away, LOL!
Now that was a cool site. :) Good stuff. Thanks for sharing. I need to go back over there and look at it when I have some more time.
You're right about that Got Milk spot. Funny stuff.
I didnt see the pillsbury dough boy! I gotta get back to the link again
I hear you both, Wheelson and Mark. I think web design has evolved in a needlessly complex direction, rendering most sites so hopelessly in love with their own technology that they forget the simple rules of layout and navigation.
Still, when I wacky site like this comes along, I like to toss it out there and see what everyone thinks. Because the truly worthy ones are so few and far between, it's pretty rare when I actually do so.
Hey, maybe I'll re-do Written Inc. in that style!
OK, maybe not :)
I use firefox and it worked perfectly! It's a very cool site, and I don't have a problem with high tech sites ...in fact I really like them better.
I will say however, that I wasn't sure what the site was all about at first, so it should have more of a first impression statement I think. But all in all...Really really cool.
