Twitter: @mootools
I've followed @jquery now for quite a while. Though I spend most of my time with Moo, it's good to keep up with the other frameworks and see what I can gain from their ideas. Even if you're a MooTools dev, I'd recommend throwing a follow @jquery's way.
That said, I happy to say that I'll be spreading the Twitter love by helping Aaron Newton moderate the @mootools account. Please send any good Moo-related articles, demos, or scripts in an "@" reply to the @mootools account, in a shout out to Aaron directly, as a comment to this page (now and in the future), or via my contact page.
This is an announcement I'm very excited about. Please help gain momentum by sharing articles and passing on the word!

Here's how to accomplish this same effect using MooTools.
The XHTML
The above XHTML was taken directly from the jQuery homepage -- no changes.
The CSS
The above CSS has been slightly modified to match the CSS rules already...
![Unicode CSS Classes]()
CSS class name structure and consistency is really important; some developers camelcase classnames, others use dashes, and others use underscores. One thing I've learned when toying around by HTML and CSS class names is that you can actually use unicode symbols and icons as classnames.
Congrats David! Following @mootools now! :)
