Three news ticker animations
jNewsticker is about giving you choice. Out of the box, it comes with three styles of news ticker:
Fade between news items (one is displayed at a time) Continuously scroll between news items Reveal news items, one character at a time (also known as the typewriter effect) And if you understand Javascript and jQuery, you can create your own news ticker styles to sit on top of jNewsticker.
Get news content from RSS feeds, Facebook, Twitter, Last.fm, Pinterest and Tumblr
With jNewsticker, you can get your news items directly from RSS feeds, Twitter, a Facebook page, Last.fm, Pinterest and Tumblr. You can even set how many news items you want to retrieve from each source, and format items differently depending on whether they are from Facebook, Twitter, Last.fm, Pinterest, Tumblr or an RSS feed.
In other words, you can populate your news ticker with the last 5 entries from your Tumblr blog, your last three tweets and the last three tunes you’ve scribbled to Last.fm.
Please note that due to the way Facebook locks down access to individual profile’s Facebook posts, the Facebook integration only works for Facebook pages.

1.1.12 – June 13, 2012
Fixed Twitter API bug. 1.1.11 – March 4, 2012
Updated Twitter API request method to use an intermediary PHP script. This is necessary due to updates to the Twitter API, which will render the old method useless. You will need to set up a Twitter application and copy and paste a few details to the PHP script. For detailed instructions, please see page 9 of the documentation. 1.1.10 – October 20, 2012
Improved skins for easier integration into themes Fixed up a bug occurring in certain situations when pulling items from a Facebook page. 1.1.9 – August 28, 2012
Added a setting to choose whether parsed links inside Tweets (ie. user mentions and hashtags) should open in a new window or not when clicked 1.1.8 – August 6, 2012

Fixed excerpt trimming for Facebook feed items. 1.1.1 – May 25, 2012
Fixed parsing error with Facebook feeds that caused the newsticker to break under certain conditions. 1.1 – May 14, 2012
Display URLs, user mentions and hashtags within tweets as links. Can be turned off by setting ‘parseTwitterLinks’ to false. HTML within the reveal animation now works, with one caveat—nested HTML elements will break the animation. Prevent feed caching by setting ‘noCache’ to true. Note that this will have a performance impact. Quickly display your latest Pinterest pins and Tumblr posts using six new settings: ‘pinterest’, ‘pinterestFormat’, ‘pinterestCount’, ‘tumblr’, ‘tumblrFormat’, ‘tumblrCount’ Fixed incorrect link for Twitter link variable Correction in documentation 1.0.1 – April 26, 2012
