Growl is a notification system.  Growl enabled programs can use it to give 
audio and visual notifications when a task is completed or a program needs 
attention or some such.  You can use it to alert you when files are placed in 
your drop box, when incoming chat messages arrive or contacts sign in or out, 
or any number of other events on your computer.

It's useful or not depending on what you like to do with your computer and how 
much feedback you like to get.

Best,
