Hi,

you know when you're scrolling twitter down from dragging the
scrollbar down, it loads more tweets, suddenly scrolls a lot and you
have to go back? Google Wave's scrollbar and Yoono's scrollbar solved
this problem.

If I remember them correctly:
- first bar was a part of the page being displayed * 100 / the current
page being displayed
- second bar was the current page being displayed * 100 / all pages
- they appeared together, the first on left, the second on right
- the first was draggable, the second wasn't
- when all pages get bigger, the part of the page remains the same
size
- when all pages get smaller, the part of the page remains the same
size
So the page scrolled down at a constant speed.

The Unity scrollbar was supposed to work this way judging by its look,
but the person who came up with the Unity scrollbar didn't interpret
the work of the competition properly.

Can you make scrollbars that work in twitter?

Best regards,
Pedro Bessa
