engers: Somehow, the idea that ‘users don’t scroll’ didn’t manage to die with Facebook and Twitter’s newsfeeds. It’s never been a lack of ability of users to scroll, it’s been your lack of ability to get them to scroll. As Tufte likes to say, that’s ‘a failure of design’.Here’s VW with a great example of keeping a user engaged in your story as they scroll vertically. It’s similar in essence to Nike’s site I posted about back in January. My pal, Mr. Vogler, also suggested this. This is what I would have liked Facebook do for Timeline. Use scrolling a bit more dynamically to make the UX more interesting by fading-in content as you scroll and use a horizontal scrollbar to navigate different points on the timeline. This is something I’m currently working on conceptualising.
