 imo - Whatever you do - please ensure that:

   1) never grab mouse focus ever - let the user decide when to view the
info.

   2) never create a popup unless the user clicks your applet to ask for
more information - leave your applet blinking in system tray or whatever.


   3) Consider possible consolidation of rss/email/desktop - as some
have said - perhaps they would like to be reached on their phone with
critical info.


  have fun ..
