Description:

SpicyNodes is a free-to-the-indiviual solution to the "lost in space" problem. It lets your visitors browse a series of short, enticing "nodes," allowing them to fly through information. Adding an engaging site map, directory, or content portal is a great way to improve visitor satisfaction — especially for visitors who don’t want to read a lot.

The latest trend in communication is conveying information in small pieces. Increasingly, people send short text messages rather than write long emails. Micro blogging is on the rise. TIME Magazine has noted the trend, saying, "These days digital eloquence is defined by pithiness." SpicyNodes enables you to capitalize on the trend, while still displaying a lot of information.

SpicyNodes is helpful for users who want to sample morsels of information or who want to uncover a specific detail. It perfectly aligns with the 10-second rule: that a visitor’s first few seconds on a site determine whether or not that person will stay. With SpicyNodes, your information is succinct and enticing, by design.'
