1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving an indication of a directional manipulation of a current instance of content in a user interface;
if the directional manipulation is towards a right side of the user interface, causing a representation of a previous instance of content to be displayed in the user interface; and
if the directional manipulation is towards a left side of the user interface, causing a representation of a subsequent instance of content to be displayed in the user interface.

Abstract
Various embodiments provide techniques for direct manipulation of content. The direct manipulation of content can provide an intuitive way for a user to access and interact with content. In at least some embodiments, content manipulation is “direct” in that content displayed in a user interface (e.g., one or more Web pages in a Web browser interface) can be moved in and/or out of the user interface in a direction that corresponds to user-initiated physical movements, such as the user dragging or flicking the content with the user'"'"'s finger or some other type of input device.

11. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving an indication of a directional manipulation of a current instance of content in a user interface; if the directional manipulation is towards a right side of the user interface, causing one or more images of one or more previous instances of content to slide into the user interface from a left side of the user interface; and if the directional manipulation is towards the left side of the user interface, causing one or more images of one or more subsequent instances of content to slide into the user interface from the right side of the user interface. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
