The Growl notification system is something that will be familiar to Mac users, but it is something that is also available for Windows. It is an incredibly versatile tool that can be used to monitor system and program notifications in a variety of ways, including remotely.
Growl can be used in conjunction with various add-ons to field notifications for web sites, applications and events. There is a range of plugins available that can be used to add support for a number of different applications and utilities.
The notifications that are generated by the programs you use are useful – you can disable any that are not – but Growl gives a way to manage them all from the same place and also establishes a more uniform look for messages.
