i really dont support all that "no scroll" things. just like people are still designing for 800x600 res. w3c already showed that 800x600 is gettin smaller from day to day. right along side it is the scroll. people are not dumb. if your designing a website for mothers or kids you might want to embed some floating div that indicates theres more down like in gmail. but you have to trust your user abit more when he knows how to scroll and realize that the article doesnt end at the 10th line but continue on.
newsmap for example is useless and its not innovative. its a replica of the concept showed in fortune on how big companys that control the ovrall oil market. its just a customization of the same concept done badly because your overfloated with alot of information not ordered in anyway and its all flash. and dont get me started on it.
