I was looking for something off google a minute ago and got my search results I typed in for. Once on the results page I click 1 time to get page previews, I was looking for a youtube video (I just searched google for it) and even though the video didn't show during the preview, the page layout was youtube, we are all familiar with it.. and I click that result and took me to what I was searching for.
2 things:
1.) that was/is probably the way most people are searching these days, and if not this second, definitely in the future..
2.) the flow through a page. Have you given any thought on how you want people to go through your site? It is natural to see the main piece (video in this case) on Youtube. You know you move down you get a description and to the right you have all your links to different videos.
It made me think a minute. If there is a site out there that everyone goes to, no I am not talking about facebook, but a site that alot of people visit and they are used to it, it would pretty cool to be able to "mimic" it in navigation or eye flow through the site.
I guess I just had a thought, wanted to see if anyone else has any input into this.
