What a horrible idea. Please PLEASE don't make it the default, and

I get enough spam already, I don't need yet another well-known way
for spammers to hack into my system and put ads in front of my face.
I also don't need yet another Surprise! distraction popping up on my
desktop.
Besides, we already have a way to do this - it's called e-mail.
Or twitter. Or usenet. Or facebook. Or the web. Or IRC. Let people
choose whether to get notices or not, and how, don't force it down their
throats the way some big companies do.

the problem is a large number of the newbies don't follow any of the list items you mentioned.
however, the idea worth a small application that is well configed & easily manageable, & of course removable.
