Subject matter notwithstanding, the Mac OSX-esque artist scroll
loading on every single page (other than, it seems, the last two in
the nav) and then madly scrolling to land on LL Cool J seems like
overkill.
If I was going to use an effect like that, I would only use something
that intense when
/- is good. I also agree on as few clicks as possible.
What about an Ajax update. A live edit on the page much like the
titles and descriptions of Flickr photos. Display the number and

After years as a UI designer, IA and IxD practitioner, I've begun to

I think those are good points Alexandra. I'd add that as new networks or
network-like tools like Twitter gain in popularity a new model of social
