Tutorial
TabCarousel is simple: open tabs you want to monitor throughout the day, then click the toolbar icon. To stop, click the icon again.
By default, TabCarousel will flip through your tabs every 15 s, reloading them every 5 min. It's great on a unused display or TV. Put Chrome in full-screen mode (F11, or cmd-shift-f on the Mac) and let it go.
If you want to change how often TabCarousel flips through your tabs, right click on the toolbar icon and choose "Options".

* Heroku

* Monitor your build service, such as CruiseControl
* Packages with tracking information
* Anything else that's on the web that you want to monitor

It's good, but very disappointing you can't use full screen mode |

Very helpful and simple tool. Does exactly what it needs to do, cycle through tabs and refresh them once in a while... Great! |
