What does next mean?

Looks like I’m not the only one bothered by this. On some sites, “next” means “back in time” and on some it means “forward in time”, and the same goes for “previous”. This means extra effort for the person using your site or your program. It’s not much extra effort, but it’s a little. It builds over time. It gets annoying.

This is why I opted to label the archive links here “Forward in time” and “Back in time”.

For some strange reason, Szymon Błaszczyk noticed this but didn’t do anything about it on his blog or his tumblelog.
