This is great. But it would be nicer if the algorithm to randomly place the new messages would attempt to not obscure the most recent ones; sometimes I was trying to read a really interesting message and it got covered up before I finished reading.
Gee, I never knew that gist was being used to spam live-tv stream blogspot links. I got my hopes up that someone had a script that would automagically connect me to the live baseball game of my choosing... ah well, what was I thinking.
Otherwise it's fun to watch, and a surprising amount are actually interesting/relevant.
Surprisingly entertaining -- thanks! It'd be nice if the the popup messages had a force field around them, so they stayed readable for as long as possible.
That's a good idea. It's definitely not using space very optimally as it is, though it's meant to feel like a busy "hubbub" / very active, so that's somewhat intentional.
I'd like it more if it had a backlog. Putting that widget on any website is difficult because the likelihood that someone will be there long enough for a commit is fairly low.
