Possibility of Desktop notifications?

[lakshmanaram]

How about adding something like a desktop notification feature for github notifications or news? Is it do-able?

Sounds good, any hints about the API?

Being a newbie to the open source world, I haven't collaborated a lot and therefore rarely get any notifications. I spend most of my time reading my github news feed, checking out the cool things that people I follow are building. Adding a single time desktop notification for every news would prove to be very useful to beginners.
