Just get it to fill in new items automatically via javascript updates, and then we can leave it running full screen on a dedicated monitor. It then would become something of a medusa head though, because if you hope to get any regular work done you'll have to completely divert your eyes.
Hmm, but wouldn't it be annoying if it loads stuff on top while you're reading/clicking something? You'd lose your place on the page. I suppose I could create gmail-style update messages you have to click on. That loses the medusa-head character, though :)
I'm using page load as a surrogate for 'mark all as read', which keeps track of the state of the divider and so on. Keeps the UI simple.
follow is intended to be something you periodically focus on. With auto-reload stuff flows past you so fast I'm not sure what the dashboard-like view would convey above the fold. Especially since even new stuff vanishes below the fold on many occasions. Making something you can just glance at is much harder, I think.
