Gmail notifies

by zoss in soft-wear

For mac os x 10.3+ users; there are a number of ways to get notified of unread Gmail emails, without opening your browser. You could access the rss feed from mail.google.com on your favorite rss reader. You could use GmailStatus, which is a notifier that sits in your menubar (if you have enough space). Or, you could use Google’s own; the new gmail notifier, which also tells you the sender and the subject of the unread mails without opening the browser, among some other nice features. Gmail remains my favorite email solution, but what I would really like to have is a notifier that works with multiple accounts — other people would like to see more things done.

Tiger’s got nothing on me

The konfabulator has been acquired by Yahoo!, and ver2.1 is now free. Add that to the QuickSilver free launcher, and you make up most of the ground between panther and tiger.

In the words of a friend: “Who needs tiger when you can have free widgets to hog CPU!!”
