Am I seeing things?

Is my web browser broken? Have a somehow switched over to Internet Explore by mistake? The answer is no! This is an interesting website, one that challenges the way we should design websites by displaying the information in a horizontal format.
The site showcases other websites that display its content in horizontal not vertical direction. I have seen some websites like this before, so the idea is not completely new one, however, I believe that this site pulls it off quite well.
Bad practice and usability I here you scream, well maybe it is not the convention. Yes as a web user I don’t like side scrolling. However, I think the presentation of content in this manner should be explored. Don’t just use a convention for the conventions sake.

What about other languages that read content right to left rather than left to right? This could be very confusing!
