Push email has been around for years [1], in particular MS Exchange has been push based for as long as I can remember. I honestly can't see how it's a beneficial thing either. I find pretty much every single push service to be extremely distracting. Sure IM has its benefits, it's a great way to communicate with your dev team throughout the day. It's also an unbelievably huge distraction. Turn off your push based services and I can just about guarantee a productivity boost.
