Betterway to notify the users about workflow items
===

I want to notify the users about their assignment list/ status of their work items via notification.

Instead of sending email notification, is that possible to show the notifications in Tridion itself? Say for Ex: Having new item like "Notifications" under shortcuts-->mytasks?

or is there any better way to notify the users apart from email communication, becuase, the users dont want to receive so many mails in their mail box.
