Interesting Stuff 2008-08-22 09:24am on 26 Aug 2008 As a (relatively) "expert" IT/web user, I normally get interested/exctied when I see a new technology/function. This is exactly how I felt when I saw the Apture pilot on the BBC news website.
My initial impressions were:
1) it looked a bit "odd" for some reason; didn't fit in with the rest of the BBC site
2) it seemed to be fairly easy to use/understand
3) I was still interested in seeing it used more to decide whether I actually liked it or not.

So after the initial excitement and a few initial questions, I then started thinking about how a non-techie would feel about them. Overall there are some concerns I have about confusion over click versus rollover (I still see people clicking both mouse buttons because they can't remember which one does which), and a few issues over how this will actually be used in the future. And it needs to look less "proprietry".
So, overall, I'm stiill unsure and want to try it more, but am stilled piqued by it.
Lets continue to watch this space!
