Comments on: Day One SXSW Interactive - Unnatural Experiments in Web Design http://sxswdiary.com/?p=84 Blog by Kieron, Andy and Matt to detail their trip to SxSW Interactive 2009 Tue, 07 Sep 2010 13:58:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1 By: Paul http://sxswdiary.com/?p=84#comment-2032 Paul Mon, 16 Mar 2009 19:49:47 +0000 http://sxswdiary.com/?p=84#comment-2032 The parallax effect is cool, but where is it going to be used? I've seen it crop up on blogs and certain startups like silverback, but I can't see a real world application of it - who cares if an animation happens when a browser is resized? I think its going to be one of those things to demonstrate what's possible, but it's not going to be used in mainstream web design. The parallax effect is cool, but where is it going to be used?

This obviously has viral potential for example the Silverback one had something like 20K people sign up for more information prior to Clearleft really knowing what the products was due to elements like this one.

That was not my intention and certainly wasn't conscious. In fact, I deliberately avoided even mentioning what Silverback does so it couldn't be interpreted that way.
