Growl - Application Notifications on OSX

growl

Ecto (my blog editor) now supports Growl. If you are wondering what growl is then you are not alone as I also had never heard of this little program. A little closer look I have found out that Growl is system wide application notification system that allows any application of Apple Script to display notification messages. Ecto uses this notification system to display messages when activities (like posting) are complete. Growl was developed by James Cox and he even provides an API for application developers to use so that more applications can be created that utilise the Growl notification system. If you are an OSX developer then I strongly recommend having a look at Growl.
