Recently, I made a link to randomize the poems on my website, instead of making people navigate the pages left to right. I thought, much of my audience lives on shuffle-mode, so why not speak a little more in their language?

What really surprised me is how frequently they used it to browse, instead of navigating my poetry through the links embedded within the website itself; the randomizer's getting ten times the traffic than all my other links, combined!

It always seemed to me like people wished to scroll on and on, yet I wasn't thinking about how people now swipe more than scroll. Scrolling is continuous and cohesive, but swiping is a cut-off and a break from the old to the new.
