I don't quite understand the first dialog that appears when "Get 
Notifications" is clicked from the collection details sidebar.   It may 
be confusing because it would seem you could set different email 
addresses and different frequencies for different collections, which we 
weren't going to support the first go around.  I think this should link 
to the notifications tab in account settings where its clear all 
collections you select go to the email address(es) you provide and 
frequency you set.

If you are talking about the ability to add more email addresses,then 
yes that wouldn't be too hard.

If we do this then we might as well allow multiple addresses to be entered.
