You seem to have misunderstood my post, I said that it was "too much" I was not referring to the price of the smartband whatsoever, it is rather the concept, and now you are suggesting even "worse" options such as getting merit notifications on car's dashboard, for me the only use for these bots is to actually help me keep up with the different discussions I enroll in.
I am so in love with the forum, but I also have a real-life to live, when I turn off my PC/Phone I wouldn't want to be notified about anything related to the internet, the idea of having these notifications 24/7 for every single merit I receive on my wrist and car dashboard is annoying, but that is just me:).
With that said, I highly appreciate the efforts put by fillippone, sent him a smartband merit for the efforts.
yes this is highly cool.
but as with mikeywith, when i turn away from the forum, or any online thing, i make sure NOTHING will get through. except maybe that heart transplant message or such.
online is one thing, nature is another. not that they are mutually exclusive.
and again this does rock! dont let my personal opinion (which is worth nothing as we know) influence you.
hmmm any way to collect a total and bring that up when the watch is online or that app is active again? that might be cool.. ie time to read up on what the gang is up to, must be a lot going on as 50 merits or @'s came through in the last 2 hours.
EDIT: perhaps a number based on a rolling average? like so many mentions or @s per arbitrary period get flagged and acted upon. so as to get rid of random fluff quotes that arent really pertinent and let you know something real is up.
