What is Growl and what does it do?

Apple iPhone - What is Growl and what does it do?

I was going to install Pullox for iTunes (a program that organizes iTunes songs and library) just before the installation, Pullox brought a window and the message indicated that I don't have Growl and if I want it install I should follow the link.


Anybody uses Growl? positives or negatives? is it hard to uninstall if I want to.

I use mac.

iPhone iTunes
Growl is just the notification system that pops up to notify status, etc. It can be turned on or off on a per app basis, I use it for a lot if programs.

But you can always disable it if you don't use it for anything other than Pollux

Growl is NOT a must have. Some people find it useful. Some people find no use
for it.

*Growl* is a global notification
system(http://wapedia.mobi/en/Notification_system)for the Mac
OS X (http://wapedia.mobi/en/Mac_OS_X) and
Windows(http://wapedia.mobi/en/Windows)
[1] operating systems (http://wapedia.mobi/en/Operating_system).
Applications can use Growl to display small notifications about events which
the user deems important, in a consistent manner. This allows users to fully
control their notifications, application developers to spend little time
creating notifications, and Growl developers to concentrate on the usability
of notifications.

Prowl ... is for iOS. Growl is for Mac OS.

There are two iPhone apps that allow your desktop to send growl notification to your iPhone - one is called prowl and the other is called....something, I can't recall. They are each a couple of bucks, but if you use growl alot, it allows one program to get push notification from twitter, facebook, email, etc. Whatever gives a growl notification on your desktop - the same message will appear on your iPhone.

Personally, its a bit much for me, but some people really like it.
