Dockapps... these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dockapps (first hit on google)

they are very small dimension gui applications that follow you on desktop to desktop... so in awesome it would on every tag for instance, or if you had multiple monitors, you could maybe set it to always be on screen 1, no matter what tag you were on. ie: part of the toolbar

here are some dockapps to play with

You can make a client sticky so it stays on every tag. You can do it with Rules, find the following piece of code that starts with `awful.rules.rules = {` and make it look like this (it is the last line that matters):

awful.rules.rules = {
    -- All clients will match this rule.
    { rule = { },
      properties = { border_width = beautiful.border_width,
                     border_color = beautiful.border_normal,
                     size_hints_honor = false,
                     focus = true,
                     keys = clientkeys,
                     buttons = clientbuttons,
                     sticky = true } },

OTOH Vladimir is right. In linux things like these Dockapps are not generally used, something like Conky is considered a better option. You should take a look.
