Attention Span Ponzi Scheme

An Attention Span Ponzi Scheme is a system of recruitment of people to pay attention to a topic. People recruited to the topic are then encouraged to drag in the attention spans of others.

The entire system collapses when everyone realizes that the topic is bankrupt of value to be discussed in the first place.
Examples of Attention Span Ponzi Schemes include chain letters, time-wasting Facebook applications, and any social reference group that is based on recruiting others to participate or play for the subject to have sustained interest.

Spandolage

Spandolage is that layer of awesomeness, the eye candy that comes on top of a ui and between the screens. It’s where the magic is happening.. The screen transitions, micro animations and those moments of delight that make the experience fun, unique and memorable.

- Animations bring endless possibilities in UI design. They can get very creative transforming and enhancing experiences.
- Animation can add an extra layer in any design, drawing attention to the right places.
- Animations enrich minimal layouts, enhancing story telling and user interactions.

Overuse of animation can result in heavy websites and apps and increased loading times that test users’ patience. Wrong or unnecessary animations can also confuse, disrupt, or mislead users, so use them wisely.
The spandolage in that page transition is on point.
