Content Query Ticker Web Part

This web part provides a ‘new sticker’ for SharePoint, although it’ll actually query for news, documents, or anything else you can query for with the Content Query Web Part (CQWP). In fact, it’s just a configuration of the CQWP, which also uses jQuery for animation and stuff. Typically web sites use this for displaying news or announcements, but you can use it to query for any SharePoint content type(s), as you would with the Content Query Web Part.
