It makes sense for web applications that are real applications. The CI suite my company uses sends notifications for a passed/broken build, which is a reasonable use. Mail sites can send new messages.
The problem is that there's lots of content the publisher thinks is notification worthy, but not the user. No, I don't need a notification every time you post to RandomNewsSite.com.

- paulie_a 8y agoThis is basically why I don't read work email. If it's important, someone will come over to my desk asking if I got the email within 30 seconds. Hell I stopped listening to voicemail from a previous boss and just deleted it, For three years or so and it never caused a problem. My default is now "select all, delete"
- JohnFen 8y agoI just leave my email client and systems report open all the time. That way I can easily glance over and check if something needs my attention when I have some attention to spare, rather than be distracted by a notification appearing randomly over my work.
