Reminds of Mr. Incredible's day job as an insurance salesman who helped the nice old lady by telling her how to work the insurance system.

I would be interested in similar experiments but with a couple of minor variations to see the effects of each:

1. Sending the NOINDEX meta tag

2. Combining meta tags

What I like about Wow Alert:

1. It's less than 5KB.

2. It overrides the existing alert function.

1. It's bloated for what it does... > 30KB

2. The short-hand swal doesn't make sense or read well.
