As far as I remember, there was also the option to get notifications about price changes, the same functionality bitcoinreminder.com offers.
But if I'm wrong, please excuse my post.

BitcoinNotify watched the blockchain and sent notification when payments arrived.  BitcoinReminder will send SMS text messages when the exchange rate moves.  Apples.  Oranges,  No?

1st on sign-up.. when entering a password, you can show the information about secure password before submitting
2nd on adding a notification the label "free of charge" should be changing right after ticking the sms-checkbox
3rd give me an (optional) input field to label my "notification" like "donations for the blog" or "bike-shop" so that I can see on first glace whats going on.

Thanks for these great suggestions; added to my to-process list.

TransactionRadar.com has an API, and I believe this could be used to help to detect when a race attack for double spending is in progress.

Use of this for sending a subsequent "warning" notification should a double spend attempt be detected would be useful.
