Seeing mouse overs of other users seems pointless and the faint change from black to gray made me a little dizzy. Also the "Users Online" doesn't seem to load, but it sounds interesting. I like the idea though, just seems like it could be presented better (I almost missed the green arrows).

Yeah The Users Online will update every 5 minutes, and I will improve the presentation, just kinda doing it for myself and wrote it in a few hours so haven't put much style into it. Thanks for checking it out! I could have it update every minute and the arrows would be noticed earlier and maybe I should move it closer to the number of the article.

Yeah this is not a fully bullet proof system, it is just an experiment, something that I use and thought I would share, if you want to play around with the technology check out the urls on the about page.
