Websites in a Blink

I really enjoyed Malcom Gladwell's book Blink and noticed that a recent article in Nature provides further evidence that all it takes is a 'blink' to decide if a web site is worthy of attention or not.
Lindgaard and her team presented volunteers with the briefest glimpses of web pages previously rated as being either easy on the eye or particularly jarring, and asked them to rate the websites on a sliding scale of visual appeal. Even though the images flashed up for just 50 milliseconds, roughly the duration of a single frame of standard television footage, their verdicts tallied well with judgements made after a longer period of scrutiny.
