Thanks，but nothing happened after I clicked the 'Subscribe' button several times.
Nothing at all, and Safari's Preference-Notifications still stay empty.
(Mavericks iMac Safari 7)
Why?
Got a tip for us?

Why?
This. I don't really have any reason to switch from Firefox to Safari just to use this.
Well since you don't actually have to have Safari open to get the notifications you can still use it just to see the notifications. It would be really great though if it just opened to your default browser rather than Safari.
During the apple show they were talking about Ebay and other sites, but when I visit ebay.com, nothing happens, even if I log into my ebay account.
By the way, does anyone know why safari isn's saving my macrumors forum login details?
Forced autosave and everything are set up.

GabeG,
If you didn't tried yet How Safari Push Notifications works, you can visit https://oncall.im for an example. They providing even API for it.
And yes, it's not necessary to keep open Safari, it needed only for Subscribe action. And one more: all notifications will be opened in Safari :-(
by not having Safari open, do you mean not having an existing window but still running in the background (dot underneath the icon on dock) or can it still do notifications even if Safari is completely closed?
You will receive notifications even if Safari is completely closed. You can test it by using their API, using Command Line and curl.
It really good thing because it doesn't matter working Safari or not, you will be notified about interesting you things.
I use Pronto Push for instant use of the "safari Push notification system" until devs add-on the feature to their sites...
@ the moment Pronto Push servers are down

I'm not so sure how much I like this idea, maybe I just need to get used to it??
Definitely. For an example, I'm using it to monitor changes in git repository.
Irritatingly, eBay.com may work, but not eBay.co.uk
Gmail implies it works, but even when set up, doesn't. Am I missing something?

I'm sure you all have come across and experienced a lot more sites since the last posting in May, but I thought I could provide some thoughts into this as I have a unique insight.
I work for Roost. We do push notifications for websites - so, exactly what's being discussed in this thread. We make it very easy for a site to get up and rolling. Otherwise, it can be brutal to build from the ground up.
The biggest growth we have had is with tech sites, particularly Apple related sites. It makes sense, but interesting none the less.
