It was dismantled years ago, but the replacement Merry-Go-Round has an interesting genealogy: it was built by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, creators of Laffing Sal!

    Horizontal Scrolling Containers Are Not a Content Strategy

    I should clarify that I am not talking about carousels. That said, because users often consider horizontal scrolling containers to be carousels, I will be talking about carousels. Also, this post is written by a monolingual American. While I discuss localization issues, there’s no way I can get into all…

    Carousels are great if you want your website visitors to play "Where's Waldo?" with your content. 🙃 Apparently, 89% of users love the first slide so much, they never bother with the rest. 🤷‍♂️ Turns out, rotating your offers is about as effective as shouting them into a black hole. 🚀

    America's carousels are spinning out of existence. There's a fight to save them.

    Experts estimate that as many as 3,500 wooden carousels were built at the turn of the 20th century. Only 150 have survived.
