Alternate News Reader UIs

Alternate News Reader UIs 02/10/2004 03:02 AM

Here are some alternative news reader UI ideas to consider.  First two are usuable as is, but the rest require quite a bit of polishing and crafting before they can be useful.  I came up with them while I was sitting at a recent workshop after hearing the speaker complain about how boring existing news readers are.

Flashcard UI

News item are displayed on flashcards.  Background color, font size, and number of items per card (1-7), and transition effect should be configurable.  User can navigate forward or backward to next or previous set of headline.  Up or escape to wider view (list of news or sources) should be available.  Fullscreen-mode is essential.

Movie Credit Screen UI

Similar to Flashcard-style UI but visual presentation effects seen commonly in movie opening or closing credit screens are used.  UI should not emphasize more than one news item at one time.  For example, if news items fade or blur in and out then current candidate for further reading should be most noticeable.  Background music and entertaining audio ads can be be used simultaneously.  Again fullscreen-mode is essential.  Screensaver-mode is optional.

Video Game UI

Wild array of UIs are possible here including using news items as prizes, gates, or monsters.

Multiplayer UI

You can see what others are interested in using various UI schemes such as footprints, ranking, etc.

A refined version of these UI might fade in a transparent headline over the screen or in some assigned space for a 'while' when user hasn't moved the mouse or typed anything for certain amount of time.  Since most news one might read using a news reader aren't urgent, you can spread hundreds of headlines over the entire day instead of flooding the reader with large number of popups simultaneously like SharpReader does.

These ideas are just branches off a single idea: news readers as boob tubes for couch potatos.  Instead of overwelming the user with long list of articles and folders, turn it into a linear experience like the TV.  Press the power button to turn it on and just sit back until you see something you like and then press another button to dive in.  Add another button for fast-forward or switch the channel.

Sauce Reader

Weird name, but Sauce Reader is a new News Aggregator client for Windows.  It's free for personal use.  Hmm.  I don't think free for personal use leaves much room for profit.  I mean how many businesses classify news reading as legit business activity?  If businesses allow employees to read news online during work hours, is that business use?  How many companies will actually buy news aggregators for its employees?

Boy, I am getting tired of seeing these three-pane UIs.

What Type of RSS Reader Are You?

What Type of RSS Reader Are You? 09/02/2004 11:12 PM

The RSS Weblog has two interesting posts today that I won't go into too much detail about since no one but me can read what I'm posting (if a blogger blogs in the woods and there's no one around to read it, is it still blogging?...).

• An Open Discussion of Feed-Reading Habits
  "Web designer D. Keith Robinson asks his reader how they consume RSS — full text or summary,  do they mind ads in feeds, and the obligatory 'what reader do you use?' "
   
• RSS Would Be Perfect If...
  "Me? I love RSS. I couldn’t keep up with the embarrassingly small percentage of WIN sites I read if I didn’t have FeedDemon, but there are a few things I wish RSS and feed readers could do."

Interesting questions and thoughts proposed in both pieces, which run parallel to something I've been thinking about - the different types of RSS readers (human, not machine). Thinking about it in the car this morning, I came up with four distinct types of RSS users that I know of (in no particular order):

1. The Anal Information Junkie -  reads every post and gets the shakes when she can't goes too long without her aggregator (I'm in this category)
2. The Trend Spotter - scans for patterns and digs deeper when a specific topic starts percolating (I think Bernie Goldbach is in this category)
3. The RSS Pack Rat - keeps an archive of selected feeds that can be searched when the pack rat wants to research a topic (I think Phil Wolff is in this category, but there are similarities to the Trend Spotter)
4. The Casual Causal RSS Reader - someone who has a reader (or an account for one somewhere) and has subscriptions, but only reads them when she has time, which is rare, so it normally takes an out-of-the-ordinary event to get the user back to the reader (I know a couple of people at my office that I think fall into this category because they don't have time to read their Bloglines accounts regularly, until something forces them to)

What RSS profiles have I missed? Which one are you? How does a #4 get to a #1? Is one of the great things about RSS that it works well for all of these types?
