Horizontal Scrolling

A - long time ago - Opera vision about horizontal scrolling on the web.
Would be nice to view it in more sites.

Have never read about this vision, but it makes so much sense from a reader's perspective. Lines of text should be kept to a maximum of about 8 to 12 words, depending on language and type of content, for optimal reading speed and comfort. Horizontal instead of vertical scrolling aids this idea, as illustrated by your linked website.
