NYT Lens - hinting what’s next

The newly launched New York Times - Lens photography blog has a great way to show the next post by exposing a bit of the photo. The interface is implemented in Flash, but I imagine this kind of interaction can be done with a little jQuery and PHP preloading the next/previous posts. I’d love to see this done on a non-Flash interface. Have you seen it? Link me up!

Showing a bit of what’s next encourages sticking around and exploring the rest of the content. It’s all graphic, so this is especially true. I imagine the same implementation on a text-only blog would still work, but would be perhaps less powerful. Nice work.
