See that wiggling little arrow on the upper-right corner of this blog? That's The Hello Bar.
UPDATE: I have removed it. It's been an awesome experience with the Hello Bar. ☺ But I occasionally need to change my blog's look every now and then.
UPDATE (again): I brought it back. :)

The Hello Bar is another innovative product by Digital-Telepathy, the team behind the SlideDeck. I first encountered The Hello Bar on a blog and to be honest, it's the first thing I noticed. It seems like there's something on that little toolbar that's saying "Click me or you're gonna miss something you don't wanna miss." There's a mental telepathy going on between the user and the toolbar. Is this what D-T does? Or is it their hidden power?
With all kiddings aside, The Hello Bar is something you should put into your blog. This is not a promotion or something. I ain't even got paid for featuring this. I seriously recommend this little piece of product. It's free, uncommon, and makes your visitors curious.

There are lots of options by which you can customize your Hello Bar:
- toolbar color and message/link text color
- message and link text
- duration before it shows/hide
- duration before the arrow tab wiggles
- whether it is hidden and needed to be clicked before it pops down
- arrow tab display: upper-left or upper-right
- whether the toolbar is closeable or not
Those are by Manual settings, however you can use the Hello Bar as a headliner to your RSS feeds by clicking the Feeds setting.
You can also check the status of your toolbar (i.e., number of impressions and clickthroughs).
