As we see with Twitter and always-on devices, like Blackberrys and iPhones, part of the appeal is a need to be on call in case you miss something important. As Ray Ozzie put it:
“But beyond the technological scale issues, the reason I was getting at the unified notifier concept is because I think as humans we have these issues. And certain of the events, certain classes of the events we want to treat, as Dave says, like a river where you don’t really care if you miss something, you know. It’s where you’re not trying to keep up every little thing. It’s maybe it’s an amusement, maybe it’s just a background activity.
Some types of events you just want to see them. You just don’t want to miss even a single one in this big flood of notifications. And so we just need better tools.”
I think this will play a big role in enterprise IT solutions in the very near future. How those tools will evolve will be an interesting process to watch and participate in.
