I've never done anything like this but perhaps a combination of the 
Popup module, Views, and Views auto refresh?

1. Popup: http://drupal.org/project/popup
2. Views: http://dupal.org/project/views
3. Views Auto Refresh: http://drupal.org/project/views_hacks  (part of 
Views Hacks)

What I'm thinking is write a view that returns whatever content you 
want.  Display it as a block and use the Popup to display that block as 
a popup.  You'll need to figure out a way for the view to filter content 
that the user has already seen if Popup doesn't have something similar.  
Collapsible blocks uses a cookie to remember which blocks I don't want 
expanded so perhaps Popup has something similar?
