Liner Notes
The story behind the story
The Internet of Actions
As notifications prove more and more irresistible, even the most hardened resistors are bending to the imperative. Take Facebook, for…example. From the company that lives to suck you in and never let your data go, comes Notify, an app that offers you a notification bus that registers publishers and inserts them into a semi-tunable queue. The scenario is simple: sign up for Techmeme or Breaking News and wait for the notifications to show up. Click on the notification and it takes you — not to Facebook and an embedded post — but directly to the post on the publisher’s site.
