Re: Slashdot adopts images as category generalisation.

Jonathan
I think that the use of images to convey categories
has been around for a while (at least 1 year) on this
site.
In response to your post I went to the site and of the
5 images on the top right of the site.

Television.
Technology.
The Courts.
Hardware.
Microsoft.

the only one that 'made sense' to me first off
(without having to look at the associated tool tip)
was the Television.

That may or may not be relevant (I don't know) because
I guess we all need to go through the learning curve
of associating an image with a concept.

The images are a relief from the huge amount of text
however <grin>

Cheers
Graham
