(7,811 posts)44. love this new development! Question: Will i need to be logged in on my phone in order to receive
notifications? Or will it sort of be like fb notifications that doesn't seem to require it, but to open and read on my phone I have to be logged in. So far, I've limited my log in status for social media to my chromebook only.
Since I don't generally watch the news on tv or listen to the radio, I tend to come to DU for LBN, generally motivated these days to see if a certain cadre of miscreants and traitors have been arrested, charged and prosecuted. That's important news to me.
As well as the unexpected good news, naturally.
Or if the world is coming to an end, I'd like to get a heads up on that too so I can grab my "go bag" and head for the hills.
Kidding aside, I love this idea. I'm going to be a big fan I think.

I really like this for numerous reasons. I'm retired and do have the time to read all of the posts
