Just curious, does anyone have an inkling into how you could recreate in Drupal the hide-able pop-up effects used on the Upworthy site for both the site description at the top and the Facebook share near the bottom?

Some sort of Ajax or js with cookies to hide a content section....?

Don't show Again

So to add to/refine this question, looking into this further, there are a couple of things a solution needs.
There are several modules (http://groups.drupal.org/node/51088) that let you theme and javascript up the stock Drupal messages (drupal_set_messages), but just browsing them it doesn't seem like you can set the content-- ie: create your own message to display.

Clearly you also need to be able to add a cookie or other method to give the user a "Don't Show Again" option to permanently hide the content.

Ideally being able to create permanent messages like the "Join us" section, as well as "Announcement" content in a pop-up would push you away from custom writing a module just for one message.

http://drupal.org/project/popup gives you the ability to create and assign content, but making it dismissible seems outside of the base functionality. Lightbox-type content modules also seem geared toward just displaying content without the necessary functionality for hiding the content.

Any ideas on how to add "Don't Show Again" functions to popup content?
