Using SNS as a publish / subscribe channel for Annotator notifications 
sounds like an interesting idea, and I can see how this could be 
implemented into something like a Twitter bot.
However, I personally think  that there are a few  features of the 
Annotator core that should be prioritised over notifications (e.g. UI 
for administrating annotations, group based permission system, Gravatar 
integration).  Having said that, I would also like to see this 
implemented at a certain point..

Cheers,
Andrea
