We have GOOD information on this page. There is a link to a community that studies mass notification systems (non commercial)

[edit] Improving the article

I've given the page a really thorough copyedit and rewrite for style; next I'm going to go through and add wikilinks. There are a couple of problems on which I could use other editors' input:

• Technologies: we currently compare "pushing" (broadcast) with "polling": is that correct? Should it be "pulling"?
• Citations: there are lots of unattributed assertions here that need supporting references. I don't know this field, perhaps someone else can track some down?
• Images: could we get a screencap from a popular/representative app, or would that push us into advertising?
• Context template: once wikilinks are added I think the page may be clear enough to delete this template. Any thoughts?

You are recklessly editing. A complaint will be filed against Gonzonoir. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.242.133.55 (talk) 21:50, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

96.242.133.55 (and other IPs and accounts used by the same user). You first put a block of info on the page, then you start adding your (your, see WP:COI) link to a couple of pages, and finally you add (mainly) your link to the data you added to this article. The data on your server may corroborate the data here (and as a matter of fact, that is certainly not surprising!), it is not a proper source for that data. Use other sites, and discuss (e.g. here) before editing the article. Thanks. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 00:16, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
