Marks' "Notifications, indicators and alerts" article

[Jay Fulton]

Re: Notifications

Well, as an individual user, it's a low priority for me. When I'm
concentrating on code, or working in gimp, I'd turn it off as soon as I
could find the configuration for it.

However, I suspect that it would be a good weapon in the battle to gain a
toe-hold on the beaches of corporate adoption.  In my daytime work, such
notifications are set as the default in my corporate PC, for example, mail
notifications from the outlook client. In that environment, such
notifications are normal, and probably desired by many users.

thanks
