Advanced Page-turning Technology

By William Bakker | 10.17.06 | Comment?

I found an email in my inbox with the following content:

The next generation of online digital brochures has been created by www.onlinetravelbrochures.com allowing both dial-up and broadband internet users to use advanced page-turning technology.

ADVANCED PAGE-TURNING TECHNOLOGY. You have to be kidding me. Why do people keep thinking that putting a print brochure up online is a good idea? It’s always a bad idea, unless it’s intended use is to print it out on paper. The failure of all print-mirroring applications as a way to serve up content online was not depended the fact that there was no animated “page turning”. And it’s also not depended on download speed, there are plenty of reasons why serving content online in PDF form (or a gloried versions) is a bad idea.
