Another great post Linda, with lots of examples to check out and think about.

I’ve been a fan of flyouts for awhile, but many designers dislike them as it messes with the integrity of their design. (But they say that about a lot of things.)

Short answer is product pages get dropped when the item is no longer available, and you end up with a blog full of broken links. I’d rather post the screenshot. Also, sites get redesigned and you may check out the site and become frustrated that the feature is no longer to be found.

Rich search is a favourite feature of mine. It’s frustrating when a site doesn’t have one, such as on Amazon and even Twitter.

I worked in web marketing at a medical diagnostics company where many of our customers were over 50 years old and many of whom had issues with coordination. With some Java code, you have to hover just right to see the expanded views, which is troublesome with those with dexterity challenges. These examples seem to be improved versions of this feature, whereby the expanded view stays in place even if your mouse “falls off” the link.

In 2010, is there still a significant number of users that don’t enable javascript or -even worse- refuse cookies ?
