These ribbon in stackoverflow and uservoice.com looks nice. is there any javascript library/jquery plugin for that effect?

Answer 1

With some tuning, this is a valid equivalent, you receive notifications with fade-in/fade-out effect and it disappears automatically too:

It is based on the way it looks Growl in Mac: Growl is a notification system for Mac OS X: it allows applications that support Growl to send you notifications.

There is something similar for Mootools:
