No Mo' FOMO: The 11 Most Popular Push Notifications

No one likes feeling left out — and in the digital age, you no longer have to. You can alleviate FOMO, or "fear of missing out" (a phrase recently added to Oxford Dictionaries Online), with the judicious use of your smartphone's push notifications.

Based on recent data from Mobile Posse, most American smartphone users employ the standard missed call, text, email and app update alerts. More surprisingly, we also see that 65% of U.S. smartphone users have push notifications for social networks, 60% use weather alerts and 48% use gaming notifications — all of which beat news and sports alerts.
