Why make it impossible to read more than two lines, if the point is to show off how cool FB is?
It is fascinating, that I really want to learn the good things, but I cannot get myself to read through the satire. Normally, I would be able to skim through it; even that triggers a gag reaction. Anybody has the same problem?
It was also unreadable for me because before I was able to read a single word I was presented with a pop up to connect with them on Facebook. Thats my queue to hit the back button.
Seriously indeed. I can't read it, the whole page is just intimidating by being so many individual sentences without organization, and hurts my brain to look at.
Good for you. Now think about other people who are not like you.
I was able to read it, but only with difficulty. The background animations are super distracting and siphon off mental effort required to ignore them and focus on the text. Many people can do this relatively effortlessly, but for people who can't, the website is far less accessible than it could be.
Actually, turns out the actual chapters have the opposite problem: Too big text, with too big margins and a ragged right that makes it legible, but unreadable. The front page is still too tiny to read...
Ugh, there is no way to just read the text, you have to scroll from short paragraph to short paragraph, like a fancy tweet storm. Do they even want people to read that thing?
I'd really love to read this article, but this: http://i.imgur.com/JYdzS.png is what I see on my screen. I feel like I have to navigate some sort of maze with my mouse just to get the text :(.
Even though I frowned at their splitting the 3 short sections into 3 pages, frowned again at their forcing opening of a new browser/tab for each section, it at least provides a (semi)decent summary of the different search engines in the market and hence stays high above the lower quadrant of the worst articles I've seen in terms of intent, content, layout, or color.
