Not only the slide-in nonsense, but also the wiggling "Try Me!" arrow on the right. "You may also like" panels are becoming the Clippy of blogs and news sites.

Didn't see any of it with noscript on.

What's the "try me" pointing to? I tried clicking it and it did nothing, scrolling down it just points to blank right margin all the way ...?

I have no problem with "you may also like" and have found the links useful on occassion; anything animated without user interaction however is generally a turn off for me.

What's the "try me" pointing to?

Some kind of feedback tool about the site.

I used the feedback tool to inform the author that the "Try me!" was annoying enough to cause me to want to leave a nasty note.

So I guess it worked?
