Notification Effect

Entering an app with the intent of completing a task only to be distracted by the in-app notification. You then leave the app only to return again to try and accomplish your original task.

I went on Twitter to send a DM but I fell victim to the notification effect when I saw that little counter. Only once I closed the app did I remember what I originally needed to do.

Empty Notifications

A series of Facebook notifications one receives which do not relate to the indivual they are addressed to. This can be experienced when the subject comments on a post and a conversation ensues unrelated to yourself.

I commented how stupid I looked in the picture, however the idiots decided to talk about turtles on it. I got empty notifications for weeks

Notification Squad

YouTube subscribers who have "rung the bell", thus enabling instant notifications of when the YouTubers uploads a new video.
There is nothing bad or stupid about this term. It's not just a random term thrown in the YouTube comments. Many YouTube creators have embraced the term themselves, and ask their viewers to join the notifcation squad by pressing the bell icon.

"Hit that like button, and ring the bell to join the notification squad"
"Remembers, guys, YouTube doesn't always let all my viewers know when I upload a new video, so, if you want to make sure you never miss an upload, hit that bell icon, and join the notification squad"
"Notification squad, where you at?"

notification shock

noun

I turned off my phone at noon and, when I turned it back on at midnight, the notification shock hit me like a brick

Notification remorse

That hollow feeling in your chest when you've posted something on social media and when you've returned to it later on you find that you haven't received any likes, comments, smileys or notifications at all. Or if you have - much less than you'd hoped for.

What's up with her? She's suffering from notification remorse. She posted a sexy selfie this morning but only received one like.
