yuck! classic "loved by designers, hated by users" stuff
all of these concepts put TOO MUCH information on the page
its at the level of NOISE
i want less information - i want the information when i need it, not in an unending stream. my best "default" ui - a blank screen. i haven't signalled that i need infomation yet, so don't give me any. when i request data, give me only what i ask for
classic abuse of these examples - weather data. who the hell actually runs these weather widgets that show you the weather on your desktop??? wow, its 78 and sunny, just like it was two minutes ago! this is the type of data people ACTUALLY check once a day or less. putting it in my face is just giving me more pointless noise to distract me
