But, the Me tile shows you notifications without you having to access it; it's live.
Hmm, I never really used it so I wouldn't know, but how much would it show in the square? If the Me tile were a rectangle I could see it being useful because then you can see a bit more content from the notification.
See that's the problem, there might not be people that use all the social aspects like you do or want the Me tile pinned to their Start screen. I mean I get what you're saying and can see the logic on how if you had notifications form third party apps they could extend into the Me tile, but I still think there should be a second way to access that information, especially when I think about how the Me tile is strictly construed for social networking.Well, if you didn't want to use it... well, there's no a lot anyone can really do about that. I honestly don't know who WOULDN'T use the Me tile. It's awesome. All my social notifications alerts through one live tile, with the ability to access all the notifications as a list, check in, post status updates or profile picture changes to any, or all of my social sites, at the same time... and not to forget, the combined news feed is great.
Including toasts to the Me tile would be the most logical way forward, IMO. It's simple.
It's the standard for iOS and Android as they don't really have any other options. I mean, what else could they do? They both have a bunch of static icons that don't offer any real time information. Windows Phone does and I think it's important that the platform focuses on it's strengths, instead of looking towards the competitions weaknesses.
Well I wouldn't put it that far. I see it more as a functionality that just arises. I'm not precluding there isn't some other way to do it, though. If MS can achieve the same management of notifications without resorting to notification center as understood under Android and iOS then I'm all for it. But that's really all I'm saying; there 's just gotta be some way to manage and display missed content from third party apps with toast notifications.
