This is a little bit different -- the dots don't fall back down after a while if you leave the cursor there, whereas the Google ones did. Is this intentional?
You might notice that I created my twitter account just for this show-and-tell. I didn't want to put my email address, and I don't have a blog right now, so twitter seemed like a good compromise.
What would you prefer? I suspect most people don't need any more email. Twitter is as good a medium as any, and if you do need to discuss in more detail, I'm sure they're happy to receive your email feedback.
I was surprised when this became a "trend" since I figured most people would want someone to visit their own site first, but it turns out to work pretty well as long as their twitter profile is decent.
Interesting. Is each character dynamically generated, or is there a hard-coded mapping from characters to dots? I'm guessing the latter as it doesn't seem to work with non-latin characters.
And is it okay to reuse this on other sites?
