There needs to be a new feature on FR. And I'd be happy to design it and pay for it. We need a "beep" feature, so that users can go to sleep near their computers but if something hot happens the story (decided by the webmaster) would generate a beep on your computer.
It was the same in the days of the old wire services. Certain level stories made bells ring in the copy office. (hence the term bell ringer).

Oh geez, my family would love that!
They're always in their pajamas, too, but it's not because they're on FR...it's because the laundry is piling up and they have nothing to wear!
