I just ran across this... thought it might be of interest to anyone who uses the web alot - especially if you program in flash or have an interest in alternative user interfaces.

The point? You don't click anything on the site to navigate it. Ever. Check it out.

See, now this is interesting. I'm betting everyone accidentally clicked at least once or twice.

Ugh.  Interesting, but I very much dislike it.

Doesn't appeal to me, I tend to drift the mouse over the screen when I'm browsing, using it sometimes as a sort of digital bookmark, I kept rolling over things I didn't intend to which made things confusing.

Bleh. That's nearly as stupid a UI concept as the doubleclick. The whole point of the click is that it's a positive action and can't be misinterpreted by the machine.

Some art student confused 'innovative' and 'useful' again.

Did you check out the download buttons etc. and such? I thought they made a rather neat alternative to clicking. If you're careful it's easy to make it work.

Ahh, your mind is weak, earthling. Not clicking is very easy (at least for me) and i find this whole thing to be very cool.
Bet ya can't stick it

bleh, I cant use the site since im at work (cant full-screen IE). In any case, not clicking isn't that hard at all. 50% of the my web surfing is done via the tab, enter, backspace and space buttons in the keyboard :p

uninteresting, but the only thing that gets my interest is the coding. :D

For a moment I thought you meant don't click the link in your thread. :p
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Nice from a scripting standpoint. Terrible from a user interface standpoint.

I think it's pretty neat, actually. The way it's done on this site isn't very functional from a everyday use perspective, but it's a decent idea and if done right I think it could work well.

Indeed. I've got to go with the "neat in concept, terrible in practise" way of thinking here. 'Tis impressive coding though. Bet he didn't do that with SWiSH ;)
