Anyone know anything about these?

they are popups...

... apparently they are also unstoppable

...and are very annoying to everyone involved...

...eventually, even to the web designer who uses them...

Never heard of an unstopable popup...

If designed correctly, the person who gets stuck with it can't close the browser window without having to shut down the browser...

An unstoppable alert will do the same thing, but can only stop it by restarting the OS.

I was presented with a job offer at Tickle, www.tickle.com, and did a brief phone interview.

Tickle uses unblockable popups.

Tickle can find some other asshole to do that.

Woah....

Now there is a difference between unstoppable and unblockable. These are two different things!
