I Want to Improve the Experience Project

Your notification system sucks!
1. If I click on a notification from the header up the top, I don't want to see it on the side after I have viewed it (as it is currently with gestures, gifts, and whiteboard comments).
2. If I add someone to my circle, I don't want a notification saying I have a new friend.
3. If I comment on an answer in Q & A, I don't want to be notified that 'I' have commented on the answer.
Some common sense please.
