There is a huge difference between founding a startup in the midwest and being an engineer in the midwest. I believe that gets lost in a lot of the rhetoric from both sides. I love hiring engineers in the midwest. Consistently great work et

Boxcar (disclosure: I helped build it) will allow you to send remote pushes to your desktop and mobile devices. On the desktop, we partner with Growl to display messages as a pop-up. FWIW, we also push Github notifications.

As a huge fan of swole.me and long-time lurker of it - you could add in push notifications right now using Boxcar (boxcar.io). Disclosure: I helped build it. ;)

Boxcar ( http://boxcar.io ) started out as a weekend project. The prototype (v1) was literally built in a weekend. Now we have a great team, have raised a seed round and are killing it in general!

We're also doing it for every device imaginable. Just haven't launched the others yet. ;) We do have a WebSockets API that OP could hit and write a Chrome extension against. E-mail me (jonathan@boxcar.io) if you'd like access to it.
