What options are available for receiving instant alerts from web applications?
I have a time sensitive web application I need to tend to (approving expediated purchase order requests). I have thought of being notified by e-mail and SMS.
Are there any programs to let my website send a popup window directly to my screen? Or any other instant notification options?
If you have your application open and you want a popup to appear, you could have a javascript timer that does an ajax style poll of your server every so often to see if there is a notification it needs to post. You could then throw up a pop up with the notification?
