Question: what kind of bear is best? in Site Updates

OK, that's not really the question I'm going to ask, because the answer is black bear.
(the full answer is Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica. If you're a fan of The Office, that is)
So I'm kind of curious what people think of the comment inbox. Worthwhile or just distracting? For most people, the content of the inbox probably doesn't change much during a session on Prosebox. And you might not even notice if something new did pop in there unless you were looking, right?
So I'm thinking a cooler idea might be to keep track of the last time you checked your comments, and just put up a little alert if you have new comments. Then you just click a button or whatnot, and pull the new comment(s) into your page, and close after you've read it (with the future ability to reply inline as well).
Am I on to something here?

Yes. I think that would be an improvement! I don't hate the comment inbox but I can only see it on certain pages and I have to go looking for a page the inbox will actually pop up on. Having an easy way to go straight to the comment inbox would make life easier. And an alert would be awesome too.
On a separate point. In the latest entries section, is there a way you can add on to it which book the user has put that entry in? I wouldn't have had a clue this was a site update post from seeing it on the front page.

Yes. I do get comments while I'm on the site, but don't look at the comments specifically. Sometimes I notice, sometimes I don't. It can be a bit distracting when it shows up because I tend to glance at the comments, realize I've already read them and then do it again te next time.

i guess I should've read this before making my comment about notes...:) I like the idea of pulling the new comments up.
