Overview

Description
Rethink the basic way we interact with multiple web-pages (tabs) and the jump-off navigation point.


Current Status

Problems

  • Tabs don’t scale.
  • It’s time consuming to switch between tabs.
  • We work in semantic groups; our browser don’t. No understanding of search. Only basic understanding of “apps”.
  • Bookmarks are to heavy, tabs are too light. No metaphors for saving/sharing/viewing what we are seeing.
  • No incentive to clean up.
  • We spend over 70% of time on first & last tab [check this]

Goals / Use Cases

<a href="http://www.slideshare.net/guestab5fefd/tab-candy-presentation-short" title="Tab Candy Presentation Short">Tab Candy Presentation Short</a><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=tabcandypresentationshort-100225190423-phpapp01&rel=0&stripped_title=tab-candy-presentation-short" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><embed src="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=tabcandypresentationshort-100225190423-phpapp01&rel=0&stripped_title=tab-candy-presentation-short" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

Non-goals

  • Promote tab searching over other types of revisitation (for instance placing all of the tab results on top)
  • Overly complicate the current design of the awesome bar (through things like the introduction of additional icons, arrows, or moving the focus right/left in addition to up/down)
