There's two types of notification service (hi Jeremy, nice to see your work still getting lots of attention) - one is a technical thing, and the other is friends.
Way back a couple of jobs before I worked with Jeremy at Fastmail we used to talk about "slashdot distance", as in "I don't read Slashdot, I just read summaries". "I don't even read summaries, I just have friends tell me if there's anything interesting in the summaries"... etc.
