News slides at your own pace

I like eWeek's slideshows. This one's called "Online Sharing Dons Pinstripes." Catchy title that probably appeals to its audience though not so much to me.

Business Week and other magazines and news sites are doing this more and more to summarize articles. I think people like to page through short bits of copy and pictures. When I make them I always let the user have control rather than letting them run automatically, believing that people don't like to have the speed at which they read dictated by anybody else.

The only other complaint I have about the eWeek method of displaying is the show is I'd rather have it open in a new window. That way you don't have to scroll down each time you advance the slide. Annoying.
