Animating favicon with jQuery.favicon plugin

Dynamic favicon generation with Javascript

Browser tab’s icon as notification tool
In this world web browser became more then just a tool to view a web page. Now it’s like an operation system. We can see all this modern web applications like Gmail, Twitter, Facebook. We have them all opened in separate browser tabs. But what happen when we leave the tab? Web application is still working, but we can’t see what happens there. So web developers use sounds and window.title to notify user that something happend (new chat message, email, tweet, etc.). But the thing is that modern user has a lot of opened tabs in his browser and each tab became too narrow to see that title has changed. So user gets confused when checks all the tabs to find out “who made that sound”. So what can help our users?
