I am sure many members here, myself included, are using Digital Point in conjunction with their online business. Sometimes I get enthralled in whatever I am doing in other tabs, I forget to come back to Digital Point for a little while. What if, like Facebook, when we received a new message or alert - it would make a sound. That way, while I am working - I can hop over, check out DP, hop back to my other work. Just a thought...
I like the idea. In the top right of the page they can put a mute icon for those who don't want to hear the alerts?
