"Top Ten Mistakes" Revisited Three Years Later

Mistake #3 - Scrolling text and looping animations

It is as hard as ever to read scrolling text, but aggressive use of distracting animation now causes even more problems than in 1996: users have started equating such designs with advertising which they routinely ignore.
