I want to wish a quick goodluck to my friend Raza on his new Easy Attention product release. In brief, the product allows you to generate website notifications with a collection of nice little templates. You can embed links and formated text into the templates and they pop over the website content in a hover style.
I happen to not be a member of the pop-ups are evil crowd. Like most things in this world, it's not the tool that is evil, but the use that people put it towards. Raza's product is a quick and easy way to generate nicely formatted notifications via javascript. I could definitely see using something like this to inform customers of system downtime, upcoming events, etc.
Anyways, he does have a free trial download, so check it out here. I'm pleased to see a fellow ISV owner launch their product. Hopefully he makes more money than easy assets .net... which has many downloads and several production users but not much in the way of donations.
