It would be interesting to carry out user testing of this solution, comparing results to the HTML version (which works much better for me).

I think in this case people are not so much after learning about local geography or experiencing a cool animation as much as figuring out who won where - the stats.

And there could be improvements too. There is no need to be able to zoom into the map as much as one is allowed, for example. All stuff that adds weight to the animation. Lets not forget that most people are still accessing the net on dial-up connections. How smooth would the animation be on 56K?

          Impressive animation, i agree. But what is the point of zooming in and out of states if you don't get more details? Why isn't each state divided up into counties? The only advan ...

            Good comments, although many of us are not that familiar with the USA geography, so it was of some use :).  Another effect it had on me was to focus my attention on the data from t ...

                Yes, that would be interesting. I guess that the thing would be much more jittery on 56k. On 11:48:42 4 November 2004 Loz wrote: It would be interesting to carry out user te ...
