> Short description:
> The main concept: view multiple pages at once, and save elements of
> pages to task-based or habit-based 'sets.' Open a set and drag any
> thumbnail of a saved page element into frames to load that element.
> Although this prototype is a bit rigid, sets would in theory be very
> flexible; all borders would be resizable, page elements could be added
> to the thumbnail list or deleted at any time, and frames could be
> exploded into separate windows or snapped back together.

> Using this prototype:
> Assume you have opened a saved set that includes your most commonly
> visited websites.  Drag any thumbnail from the left to the top or
> bottom frames to load the page in that area.  Click the 'hide' tab on
> the top left to slide the thumbnails out of view, then click 'view' to
> unhide the thumbnails.  Toggle the scrollbars link (in the 'About'
> area) to see the page with and without scrollbars. In the real working
> version, I imagine users could push the contents of each frame around
> - much like you can do with googlemaps.  Although this prototype loads
> full pages, the real version would load just that part of the page
> that you wish to see; it could be your email inbox, the main content
> area of digg, etc.

> I created this prototype using HTML, CSS, Javascript and jquery.

> Implications: changed browsing habits?
> Having used this prototype myself for a few days now, I've noticed
> that it seems to let me more efficiently browse through my 'regular'
> sites.  Perhaps having the other site thumbnails so immediately
> present keeps me from spending as much time on any one page.
