Goodbye Z-pattern; hello F-pattern?

[arroxaneullman -at- aol -dot- com]

Hi all,

Have you heard about this? 
http://www.useit.com/alertbox/reading_pattern.html

Summary:
Eyetracking visualizations show that users often read Web pages in an 
F-shaped pattern: two horizontal stripes followed by a vertical stripe.

Does this change how we write/make/design websites? As far as I can 
tell, it should not. But I'd like to hear some opinions and anlyses.

Thanks!

Arroxane
