Who needs a notification centre?

Hi,
while I think the action centre is a great thing and sth that was seriously missing in WinPhone 8.0, the significance of the nc seems to escape me.
I mean you received notifications through the live tiles didn't you? What's better now? I wish I could remove it.
But I think quick links to the settings are a great thing and I wonder why this hadn't been intergrated before...

not everyone likes scrolling to the button of the start screen to see notification, also the notification centre works on the lock screen, so if you have more than 5 apps with notification, you can see them by looking your you NC

I like the action center for Readit alone. I don't have it pinned (I keep from pinning to much), but I'll hear a notification when I can't get my phone out.

Personally I prefer our live tile approach it was visually more appealing. That said, for certain apps that don't have live tiles, the notification center is great.

I do like the fact that where as the live tile may show you the number of notifications, the Action center does show you every little thing(Which is good and bad)..
For example I got a twitter noti and the notification told me who and what tweeted/retweeted me. The live tiles can't do that.

So while I think Action center is sort of redundant, it is also sort of comparable with our tiles.

Ok, maybe it's just that i don't twitter or facebook and hence do not have many notifications that makes me think it's redundant...

How is everyone getting notifications for their apps in the Notification Center?

I can't find Instagram Beta, Facebook Beta, etc.

A bit out of topic! But whatsapp is only working on wifi and not mobile data for me since the WP8.1 update! I have to manually open the app to check when im on mobile data! Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

For me all apps are working fine with notification center, and BTW we surely need a notification center.
