ianbetteridge says Jun 05, 2008 09:01AM I felt the same way initially, too. Still feels weird in that direction. Should this be a user option?
dossy says Jun 05, 2008 02:57PM davidpaulyoung, funny, I read top-to-bottom. who thought this side-scrolling timeline was a good idea should be taken out and beat.
ianbetteridge says Jun 05, 2008 03:02PM The side-scrolling timeline is straight from simile.mit.edu/timeline/. And I like it, a lot.
cypher says Jun 05, 2008 05:24PM We read left to right. 1st things happen at the start (lft) of a line & last things happen at the end (rt). Plurk should work the same way.
ianbetteridge says Jun 05, 2008 05:31PM Actually, I don't think I've ever seen a timeline that had the newest at the left. Newest is always at the right. Think of graphs.
peterb says Jun 05, 2008 05:37PM initially i totally agreed, but i'm starting to reconsider. Reading left to right makes sense. The longer I spend here, the more i like it.
shaf feels Jun 05, 2008 05:38PM he would be sick if he has to read from left to right and then scroll back in time in the opposite direction. It could create a time paradox
