Now, those are two pretty big names to throw around. But you know what? Based on an initial test drive, SpaceTime just might be up to the challenge. This is a paradigm shift in browsing behavior. When I interviewed Jakob Nielsen last summer, he took Ask to task for calling their interface 3D.
Gord: Like Ask is experimenting with right now with their 3D search. They’re actually breaking it up into 3 columns, and using the right rail and the left rail to show non-web based results. Jakob: Exactly, except I really want to say that it’s 2 dimensional, it’s not 3 dimensional. Gord: But that’s what they’re calling it.
Jakob: Yes I know, but that’s a stupid word. I don’t want to give them any credit for that. It’s 2 dimensional. It’s evolutionary in the sense that search results have been 1 dimensional, which is linear, just scroll down the page, and so potentially 2 dimensional (they can call it three but it is two) that is the big step. Well, SpaceTime attempts to jump the gap to the 3rd dimension by giving web browsing depth as well as heighth and width. Is it successful? Yes and no. But there's enough "yes" here to significantly change your browsing experience, especially when it comes to searching, and to entice you with what the possibilities might be.(I tried to get more screenshots, but SpaceTime is a bit of a memory hog, and I didn't have enough to run SnagIt and SpaceTime as the same time without them both crashing)
