Growl notifications are a clever, highly customizable, and fun way to receive messages from various Mac applications. Sorry Windows users, Growl is Mac-only. These notification messages persist for a few seconds by default, long enough to read their content but not so long that they are in your way. When you are away from your computer, these messages disappear without being seen. With a quick and easy configuration change, these messages can be kept while your computer is idle until you return.

If you are an internet socialite, follow a number of chatty Twitter-ers, or somehow manage to get a slew of notifications, closing them one at a time may make you think lowly of me for ever suggesting that you have your growls stick around as you slowly click to close them one at a time. But never fear, a simple click is all it takes to dispatch all of your notifications at once.
