Do you remember that feature that you could use to "call someone's attention"? It would make a lot of noise and the window would shake like crazy in your face. Found it. The "nudge" feature. https://youtu.be/9QrS2cEyNrA?t=70

You could also invite anyone to a group chat, forcing them to join, and then you could nudge all of them at the same time. Best feature ever.

Yea, but that was a time when most people worked on desktops. Had no mobile phone or laptop.

That brings back memories, nudge bombing via client side automation / progs.
