One thing I do appreciate about it is that it slows you down. Since I don't feel like I'm "scrolling", it's almost as if I'm pulling tabs to a string of three or so items. The animation makes me focus on the bottom, so it sort of competes with readability to a certain degree.
Not a fan of the annoying animation, but like the idea.
I've been building something like this myself, though I just have it on my localhost currently. It's a little different visually but the same idea. I'm curious if he used the Twitter API or some other service to get the twitter data...
... and I this is my work in progress: http://jim-nielsen.com/feed/
Scrolling doesn't work in Firefox (latest).
Love this...is there anything else like this out there that I could use myself?
On his website he says he is going to make it open source ;)
If you wanted to build it from scratch:
The scrolling effect looks like Hakim El Hattab's Stroll: http://lab.hakim.se/scroll-effects/
Pulling in the social accounts is probably via each networks' respective API. This is pretty simple to do if you understand how already.
Some of the animations are nice others aren't, overall a bit too much I think. I love those colours though!
Fun idea. I noticed the same problem Kenneth did. Also, it seems that the further I scroll down the page, the less content I am able to see, until everything completely disappears.
Reminds me of when people started making Lifestreams, with all their tweets, RSS feeds, Flickr photos, Last.fm songs, etc. in order. I like seeing new takes on those.
For me, the scrolling seemed to break when I wasn’t hovering over the main column.
