Growl is a single tool that notifies you when a certain event occurs; it
is highly configurable, works with numerous applications and can
discretely notify you every time you receive a new email, one of your
friends gets online, a file has been downloaded, or other events occur.
You can choose which events to trigger notifications, the type of
notification – audio, visual, both or none; you can even get the
notification read to you or sent to your email. Growl works with chat
software, email clients, file sharing and file transfer software,
Twitter clients, Yahoo widgets and many more; once these applications
are installed they do not have to be configured - as long as they are
supported by Growl, you will start receiving notifications right away.
