You know I'm a great fan of Etsy's, can roam around the site for hours and hours...
PicClick, also working with eBay, now introduced a new way to browse through all the handmade items Etsy offers. It is way more visual and less text. You can view all the posted articles, or look trough them by category.
According to PicClick, people can sift through content a lot quicker on the web if you use visuals in stead of text. Totally agree, although looking at a huge amount of pictures also gets boring after a while (but text even more).
The PicClick Etsy looks like this:
Can imagine that a lot of other sites are going to be inspired by this new way of browsing. Who needs all the text websites offer us anyway? Ok, for a news oriented website text might be really necessary, although you see even them moving to more image and video content... As far as Etsy goes, it enhances the user experience a lot. Maybe the search results will look like this too in the future.
One disadvantage: there is still a lot of junk items in the overview. What would really be great is if the editors, or specific groups (maybe my own?), would be able to feature stuff up on a tool/page like this...
Spotted articles inspiring me to feature this at Creativity-Online.com and Mashable.com.
