Unified end user notification platform

A computing system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for tangibly storing thereon program logic for execution by the processor, the program logic comprising:
• subscription request receiving logic, executed by the processor, for receiving a plurality of subscription requests from a plurality of users for notifications associated with a plurality of notification channels, each notification channel comprising functionality for hosting and providing information over a network to the plurality of users;
• user interface providing logic, executed by the processor, for communicating with client devices of the plurality of users, to cause the display of a unified user interface for receiving user input;
• subscription data receiving logic, executed by the processor, for receiving, via the unified user interface, user subscription data from the plurality of users, the user subscription data for at least two notification channels, wherein each of the at least two notification channels has a channel quality that is disparate from the other notification channel;
• event receiving logic, executed by the processor, for receiving an event from each of the at least two notification channels;
• identification logic, executed by the processor, for identifying, based on the user subscription data, at least one of the plurality of users that subscribed to the at least two notification channels;
• receiving logic, executed by the processor, for receiving requests for event alerts from client devices of the at least one of the plurality of users;
• storage logic, executed by the processor for, storing the requests without response until the events alerts are generated;
• generating logic, executed by the processor, for generating the event alert for each of the at least two notification channels, each event alert comprising information based on the user subscription data for one of the at least two notification channels and the event received from the one of the at least two notification channels;
• and
• transmitting logic, executed by the processor, for transmitting, over the network, via a single connection, each of the generated event alerts to one of the client devices associated with the identified at least one of the plurality of users, wherein the alert transmitting logic further comprises:
• user agent selecting logic, executed by the processor, for selecting a user agent for transmitting the generated event alerts;
• and
• pushing logic, executed by the processor, for pushing the generated event alerts to the one of the client devices via the selected user agent.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium tangibly encoded with computer-executable instructions, that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• receive a plurality of subscription requests from a plurality of users for notifications associated with a plurality of notification channels, each notification channel comprising functionality for hosting and providing information over a network to the plurality of users;
• communicate with client devices of the plurality of users, to cause the display of a unified user interface for receiving user input;
• receive, via the unified user interface, user subscription data from the plurality of users, the user subscription data for at least two notification channels, wherein each of the at least two notification channels has a channel quality that is disparate from the other notification channel;
• receive an event from each of the at least two notification channels;
• identify, based on the user subscription data, at least one of the plurality of users that subscribed to the at least two notification channels;
• receive requests for event alerts from client devices of the at least one of the plurality of users;
• store the requests without response until the events alerts are generated;
• generate the event alert for each of the at least two notification channels, each event alert comprising information based on the user subscription data for one of the at least two notification channels and the event received from the one of the at least two notification channels;
• and
• transmit, over the network, via a single connection, each of the generated event alerts to one of the client devices associated with the identified at least one of the plurality of users, said transmitting the generated event alerts causes the processor to:
• select a user agent for transmitting the generated event alerts;
• and
• push the generated event alerts to the one of the client devices via the selected user agent.
