I've used the tabs module from the JS tools module before and interested in doing this again with a slight addition. I'd like to have tabs on the front page change automatically, as seen here http://news.aol.com/ .
I'm not sure if js tools is using jquery for the tabs, or something else, but does anyone know of a jquery tabs plugin that automtically switches? I've seen it done for image galleries with jquery, but not tabs. Has anyone tried something like this?

I believe this is what your looking for
I recently updated a site to use jQuery 1.1.2 (this is a non drupal site) and with this update, I also updated to the jQuery.Tabs plugin to version 2.6. In doing so I was investigating the new features of the updated tabs plugin to jQuery and saw the rotating tabs option like how AOL, Yahoo, and other site use.
I'm sure with these resources you'll be able to develop a solution. I'm not sure if the version 2.6 of the tabs plugin will work with version 1.0 of jQuery which I believe is the version used in Drupal 5.1. But it should give you insight on the inner workings of rotating tabs.
I hope these resources help, post back with your findings.
