I sent this link to a coworker, and he was incapacitated for the rest of the work day. Good job!

For him you're not a coworker anymore, you turned into a friend ;-)

I like it! The fixed-width column format ( http://canv.as uses it too) works really well for small chunks of random content.

Without the flying windows, it'd be good.

Reminds me of http://news.peepcode.com/ a bit which might also interest folks. It's made up of Geoffrey's Twitter friends' links as posted on Twitter.

Wow, I wonder what people think when I tell them I spend a lot of time on reddit. This content looks absolutely nothing like what I'm used to seeing. I suppose I hide away in subreddits and miss all this weird frontpage material. It looks so...alien.

Don't worry, multiple subreddits work as well on Scrolldit: http://www.scrolldit.com/?r=science%2Bprogramming%2Baww

I love it. This is one of the few Show HN posts I might actually use. (Not to say other stuff is bad... I'm just not an early adopter)

I feel the same way. This saves me some time.

This is really good and cuts down on my #1 Reddit pet peeve, blind links / link bait titles.

One weird thing though — all your throbbers/spinners seem to be running backwards.

Good examples of the power of the UI: http://www.scrolldit.com/?r=listentothis http://www.scrolldit.com/?r=itookapicture

They need to start video on hover.

Uh how is that not a terrible idea / why are we too lazy to click play?

Ok, may have scrolled on this page forever. When the page gets lots of content it gets slow. Could you remove the DOM elements at the top as you scroll?
