Hey, I really like the way foursquare's website feed is built.

Does anyone know how to build it in jQuery?

thanks,

This is the best I have seen around.

An automatically scrolling live ticker (like the "Top Tweets" of Twitter)

that's a simple ul list with n items

then, pull new items, when you found new items just do:

  1. Remove the latest from bottom
  2. Append on top the new

the nice fading effect you can use using the slideIn() effect.

Start doing some code, and we would help you... but don't ask for us to do everything.

  • Didn't ask for you to build anything, just wanted some guidelines which you provided. That helps, thanks! – Or Weinberger Feb 28 '11 at 08:14

  • The method is `slideDown()`. Also have a look at the jQuery.easing plugin as you will be able to achieve a nicer effect by altering the rate at which the sliding transition occurs. – dianovich Feb 28 '11 at 08:19
