Well, obviously, since it's Growl I'm doing "very cool things." :)

First, I've been a very, very, minor contributor/tester for some CallerID 
scripts that a fellow named David LaPorte is doing and also a Mac OS X/use 
with PhonePower VOIP tester for the main NCID project which Dave's scripts 
use.

http://ncid.sourceforge.net/

Dave's script uses Growl to display CallerID information from NCID.  I've 
used it for sometime, but now with 1.3 and network notifications FINALLY 
pretty stable, I have Growl broadcasting CallerID to my Windows Based Media 
Centers via Growl for Windows and it's oh-so-sweet.

Right now, Dave's scripts have 4 possible things that a user many want 
different Growl actions for e.g. sticky/not sticky, priorities, etc.  They 
are:

1. Known Callers: His script can poll the AddressBook and display CID 
lookups using a nicely formatted name and AddressBook picture.
2. Unknown Callers: Standard CID info you'd see on your phone.
3. WhoCalled Lookup: sign up for a free account and the number is matched 
with "known"/reported companies (mainly telemarketers).
4. Outgoing Caller ID: if your service supports it, you'll get CallerID 
info from a call you're placing.

We/I could have separate --name calls for growlnotify, but that will just 
fill up the application list with items that are technically the same "app."

Second, I'm also working on some shell scripts that will make use of Growl 
along with DeployStudio in our particular environment at the College where 
I'm employed.  While I don't have a list (yet) it'll be mostly the same 
situation where one script will use Growl for multiple unique notifications 
where we may want each displayed different e.g. "okay" "warning" or "error."
