How to use Notification Center

If you just got a new iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad then you've also got Notification Center. It's Apple's attempt to bring order and sanity to the myriad alarms, alerts, messages, calls, announcements, and game challenges that flood our daily lives. But first you may need to bring order and sanity to Notification Center.

How Notification Center works

iOS notifications are presented in one of three different ways:

• Lock screen notifications
• Notification Center
• Banners and popups

All of the implementations show the icon of the app issuing the notification to the left, and a brief except of the alert content to the right. All three, however, work in different ways.

How Lock screen notifications work

If your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad is asleep (i.e. the screen is dark), Lock screen notifications will light it up briefly and show it to you. That way, if your device is sitting on a table nearby, you'll see the notification come in and be able to deal with it immediately if you want to. If you don't want to deal with a notification immediately, the Lock screen will keep a list of all the new ones for you, and show them to you the next time you wake up your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad.

Depending on how many notifications come in, and what kind of notifications they are, you'll be presented with them in one of a few different ways.

• If it's a single notification, you get a single popup.
• If it's multiple notifications, you get a stacked list view.
• If it's a single notification but there have been previous unread notifications, you get a single popup but can view the complete list by swiping down from the time/date bar (a small gripper icon indicates when this is possible.)
• If it's a notification along with an option, for example an alarm with a snooze option, a button will also appear for that action.

You can slide notification icons to unlock your iPhone, iPod, or iPad, just as you would the normal slide to unlock control. Unlocking with the icon will send you straight to the app that issued the alert, and to the specific alert within that app.

Once you unlock, you also clear all Lock screen notifications.

Notification Center

When you're using your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad you can pull down Notification Center at any time by swiping downwards from the status bar. It can be dismissed by swiping back up from the small gripper icon at the bottom of the screen.

When Notification Center is open, it can display a Weather and/or Stocks widgets on the iPhone or iPod touch, and a Sharing widget on all iOS devices. (Because the iPad has no built-in Weather or Stocks apps, it has no Weather or Stock widgets in Notification Center.) If you don't like the location shown in the Weather widget, or the stocks listed in the Stock widget, or if you just want to turn one or all of them off entirely, you can configure them in the Settings app.

Tapping the Weather or Stock widget will take you to the Weather or Stocks app. Tapping the Twitter or Facebook button on the Sharing widget will open a Tweet or Facebook post sheet.

On all iOS devices, Notification Center can also display a list of pending notifications. Each list is headed by the corresponding app icon and name to the left, the date if it's for the calendar, and a far-too-tiny X icon to the right. If you don't like the default organization, you can change it in Settings app.

Tapping the X icon clears all notifications for that app. Tapping anywhere on the alert will take you to the app to view the information. You can control which apps and how many notifications per app are displayed in Settings.

Banners and popups

When your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad is unlocked and new notification comes in, a banner or popup notification will appear.

Banner notifications are typically used for non-urgent notifications like messages, mail, game challenges -- even turn-by-turn navigation directions. They show up briefly at the top of the screen and are animated with a roll down, roll back up effect. Tapping a Notification Banner sends you to the app that issued the alert and shows you the information. While far less obtrusive than the old-style popup notifications, the Banners can still obscure information and obstruct buttons, and when they roll-down unexpectedly can cause you to accidentally tap them rather then the top bar or button you'd begun to tap.

If a banner is getting in your way, you can touch them, pull slightly, and flick them away (technically you're beginning to pull down the Notification Center shade, which dismisses them, and then pushing the shade away again all in one smooth curve.

Popups are usually used for urgent notifications like alarms, reminders, and appointments. They pop up in the center of the screen and won't go away until you acknowledge you received them.

If you don't want popups or banners for a certain app, you can turn them off in Settings or if you just want to mute them temporarily, you can use Do Not Disturb.

Facebook to charge businesses to run targeted ads in Offers service

Facebook plans to start charging businesses to run targeted ads in its Facebook Offers daily deals service.

The social network also is allowing businesses to add unique codes to their ads for better tracking of ad results. Facebook also noted in an email to Computerworld that the service will remain free to the users who claim the deals.

Facebook Offers is a service that enables businesses to post an offer, such as a restaurant or movie discount, on their Facebook page. While the service has been available for some time, businesses that want to push those offers to other Facebook users will now have to pay a fee.

Industry analysts say the move is good news from the company, which has been tarnished since its troubled initial public offering in May. After industry and financial analysts had widely speculated that the social network's stock price would skyrocket from an opening number of $38 per share to upwards of $70 or $90, Facebook's stock sank to below $20 a share.

As of 2:45 p.m. ET on Friday, Facebook's stock price was $22.89.

Since the IPO, Facebook has lost some of its luster and some industry observers have even talked about Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg stepping down to let an experienced business person lead the company.

Patrick Moorhead, an analyst with Moor Insights & Strategy, said taking a step like this could bring in solid revenue and appease Wall Street all in one move.

"It is vitally important for Facebook to make forward momentum on initiatives that drive revenue and profit," said Moorhead. "Any move that Facebook makes to higher future revenue and profits will appeal to Wall Street. This is a nice start but Wall Street needs to see end-of-quarter profits to really be confident in Facebook."

Rob Enderle, an analyst with the Enderle Group, said this is a good time for Facebook to start charging businesses for daily deals service.

"It's not a bad idea really, and it is about time they started collecting money for targeting ads," said Enderle. "It looks to be a solid idea, but with Facebook, execution has been really poor largely because of what appears to be massive inexperience with how advertising works. I don't think this is fixed yet and I expect investors will be watching to see if Facebook can execute before getting too excited."

Moorhead, though, said Facebook was smart to let businesses use Offers before they started to charge for the ads, giving them a chance to see how well the deals service works.

"This approach makes total sense," he added. "Before they can start charging businesses, they had to make sure that the advertising was effective... This is a very low-risk and high-return move by Facebook. I consider this low-hanging revenue fruit."

HALF-TIME: Watford 0, Bristol City 0

Forged in the image of their Italian manager, Gianfranco Zola, Watford looked to move the ball at speed on the deck, relying on accurate passing and clever movement to try and unlock a City defence that included teenage Academy graduate Joe Bryan.

New-look Watford remain a work in progress and a side containing seven loan signings is still searching for cohesion. But the Hornets boast players of outstanding individual talent and Swiss midfielder Almen Abdi was only inches away from a spectacular opening goal when his curling free kick flew just wide of Tom Heaton's right-hand post.

Afforded an opportunity from a similar position moments later, Argentine forward Fernando Forestieri sent another free kick straight into Heaton's arms. City's keeper then had to be alert to gather Daniel Pudil's speculative shot from range.

A youthful Watford midfield was brimful of pace and Chelsea loan starlet Nathaniel Chalobah caused consternation in City ranks when ghosting past Stephen Pearson and cutting inside Richard Foster and James Wilson. Fortunately for the visitors, his shot lacked the power to trouble Heaton.

Operating from a compact and disciplined base, City sought to open up the home defence on the counter-attack and fleet-footed striker Sam Baldock was twice thwarted by last-ditch challenges from centre-back Nyron Nosworthy, while Marvin Elliott met an Albert Adomah free kick with a header that looped harmlessly over the cross bar.

Watford posed the greater threat going forward in the first half and Heaton was again called into action, dropping quickly to his left to gather Forestieri's shot after Matej Vydra, one of 10 loan signings from Serie A club Udinese, had surged into the penalty area.

City carried a threat themselves and Ryan Taylor's ability to hold the ball up and play in team-mates with a perceptive pass created a clear-cut opening for Martyn Woolford 10 minutes before half time. The in-form winger steadied himself and unleashed a sweetly-struck shot from the edge of the 18 yard box, only for former Arsenal keeper Manuel Almunia to make a fine diving save.

Fluent in possession despite four straight defeats, the Hornets were growing in confidence and Sean Murray saw a shot blocked by Liam Fontaine, while Brazilian centre-half Neuton had an effort ruled out for offside as the home side pressed.
