Growl 2.0 makes Notifications simple
Ricardo Trejo
I always have a tab open either in Firefox or Chrome, whichever I'm working in, that has Gmail loaded up, since I'm in constant need of knowing precious info outside my control. Well, no more. Growl is a Windows only notification tool (open source btw), which has now updated to 2.0, and with the new number comes some very cool features.
First, you'll need to download Growl, and then you'll need to register yourself some applications to integrate into the notifier. Right now I have iTunes and Gmail as my two staples, but you can add tons more; for example Twitter, a System Resource Monitor, and Skype notifications. It's certainly a handy tool to have even if it's just for email.
