Yes, this is a good thread. I'd noticed it before it got very long - in fact it inspired me to actually play with growlMail, until Mail kept crashing. Here are things that are good about growl: . it is not a one trick pony, since it handles notifications from zillions of apps. Well, >100 apps. Well, 2 applications I use. . the iTunes notifications are nice. Not as pretty as those from Quicksilver, but nice in a different fashion. . it is Nice Technology. Still, I'm sure that there are other, similar products out there, just as there are things which are similar to my beloved Quicksilver.
