Ok, need your opinions on this: do you mind waiting for heavy Web pages to load? It kinda drives me nuts (see Please Wait…Loading…), but maybe the rest of you don’t mind.
Today I was on M&Ms Web site, to vote for Orange as my favorite color (poor Eric K, he’s in last place right now…). Here’s the loading screen… after about a minute. Those numbered disks — not quite M&Ms — drop in from the top, stay there for a while, then fall away so the next numbers can fall in.
So… The animation is interesting for about ten seconds, then I’m bored and getting angrier by the minute. If I’m waiting for a game to load, or the daily crossword, maybe the wait is worth it. But really, M&Ms? You’re going to make me wait… to vote. (And to add my name to your junk email list.)
C’mon. Be better.
