Keeping up to date with the various news from around the world can be quite a task. So to make it that bit easier, I figured we can use a bookmarklet to autoscroll a webpage so that I can lean back and/or eat whilst still reading 🙂
Autoscroll – The Bookmarklet
It’s a very simple JavaScript created to solve this kind of problem! It makes automatic scrolls in the page in a very comfortable speed. Works in Safari and Firefox. If you’re lucky it might work in Opera, Camino, and Konqueror. If you’re at least as lucky as this guy, it might work in IE.

Go to the site that your want to use Scroll it; - Click on Scroll It in your bookmark bar. That’s all.
To stop the automatic scroll, you only need to press q. 😉
