A new use for the scroll bar (opens in new tab)

For those as confused as I was, it turns out you have to grab the scroll bar and move it until one of the (initially invisible) bookmarks is highlighted on the right.

(Firefox 7, Linux)

This doesn't appear to work in Google Chrome in OS X Lion at all (version 13.0.782.112), although it does work in Safari.

FYI, this thing needs to talk to twitter, so if you have disconnect.me or something similar installed, you need to allow it to communicate with twitter before you see anything.

Otherwise you get a nice off-white box in the middle of the screen, and not much else.

Great idea and well made, but it frustrated me that I couldn't do anything with the tweets.

UI would be a bit friendlier if; 1) The changes were more responsive. The delay is too long when scrolling and hovering over an element - should be around 100ms or so. If it takes time to load the content, show some visual signal (loading... or similar) that state has changed. 2) You could mouse over and click on each of the items.

I didn't know what to except when I clicked on this post. But as soon as I landed on the page I started scrolling up&down, left&right; eventually "the thing" showed itself to me. The concept is neat; i must say.

Neat idea for an interface, but as others have pointed out the demo needs some work.

It seems that the API that this is using has been rate limited.

(seems to be working in Chrome and FF)

What is this I don't even

Interesting concept! It would be really useful with this design to be able to click on a label and have the page jump to that section. Simple #hash and anchor should do it.

Chrome, Linux: 14.0.835.35 dev. I don't see any scrollbar. Scrolling with the mouse does nothing.

Got it working in Firefox, or at least I think I did. This is kinda awful, and I do mean that with respect. I'd much rather mouse over the labels on the right and have the message pop up instantly. The delay and amount I have to scroll makes this awkward. I thought it was broken still until I gave up and the message popped in.
