Croutons

As many of you know, Apple just launched a music store. The interface is really pretty nice. One thing that jumped out at me was their use of breadcrumbs. You know those little trails at the top of the page that show you where you are and where you have been.

They normally look something like this:

Of course, Apple being Apple, their breadcrumbs look much nicer:


*Note: I don’t think there is any major interface advantage here, it just looks really nice.

How long do you think it will be before websites start copying this look? I bet there is at least one out there by the time you read this.
