There's very few people on the internet who I trust enough to give them complete control of my browser. Randall is definitely one of them, probably the top one.

Browser-based notifications are easy to turn off, and it's probably the only way to get a message on a desktop PC without subscribing to email or using RSS. Also you don't need to install an app on your phone.

Well I'm up over 2000 on the "clicked on this" notification.

I've achieved something today. Not anything useful, but still something.

I love the changes of the "subject" of the notification .

It keeps going, but I didn't get beyond 2k
