Love this idea and execution. Any plans to add rich notifications for G+? It would be great to see info about the notification (and ideally interact with it) from the extension (vs a notification page or redirect to plus.google.com).

So we spent a good deal of time trying to do this. Google explicitly does not provide notification details for G+[1] so our hands are bit tied here. Chime does its best still convey your new G+ notifications with that limitation.

#113This looks awesome. What plans do you have for other services (off the top of my head, I'd love Dribbble and Tumblr)?
We're looking at adding some of the most requested services (like multiple Gmail accounts) first. We'll definitely add any requests to our backlog, so I'll put your requests on there as well.
I've been trying to find a replacement for One Number, a Chrome extension that notifies for Gmail, Google Reader, and Google Voice.
Google Voice notifications aren't a big deal since I get them in e-mail anyway, but having Google Reader notifications would be really nice.

#114Reminds me of Friendfeed. Few quick mashups could do the same in the good ol' Web 2.0 way.

#115Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thanks and great questions! 1. We're currently looking at creative options to support personalized notifications. One possibility is something similar to what Rapportive did and provide sites with a way to deliver notifications. 2. We honestly did this because it was a need we had. We're looking at a number of strategies. The most likely is a set of premium features for a one-time fee. That said, we might just leave…
What about limiting the number of services for the free version; say the first five are free, then a one time fee to unlock additional.
I dislike this sort of limit. The best freemium schemes provide a full enough featured service for free users and fee-based services that obviously make sense for a segment of customers willing and able to pay. Limiting the number of services severely cripples the basic service.

#116I like this!
One problem though: if I click a notification for gmail (probably others too) it opens a new tab. I already have gmail opened (I have it pinned), can you please use my existing tab to open the email in (or make it configurable)?

Thanks! We've heard this feedback from a few others and probably will add a few different configurations in the next update :-)

#120Not sure how this would work, but if I want notifications from everywhere, this would need to include IRC chat when people ping me with my name.
Perhaps the Chime folks would be kind enough to write a ZNC module to allow for that type of integration: http://wiki.znc.in/Modules
Perhaps...
