It looks cool, but I read an article (or blog entry or something) about
the usability of same and it raised a few valid points. What if the
notification pops up while I'm AFK for a glass of water and I miss it?
The solution to that is to make it require me to click on it to make it
go away. However, if I'm in the middle of something, I may not want to
have to push interruptions out of my way. There were a few other issues
raised in the writing that I don't remember off hand, but it seems to be
a sticky issue. While I'm sure there is a decent way to implement these,
it would need to be done right.
