Google Reader Notifier: Menubar alerts, previews
Troels Bay has just released a menubar notification utility for Google’s RSS Reader which matches the other Google app menubar notification apps for Gmail and Google Calendar.
The drop-down menu offers the ability to jump into the Reader, to preview the subject lines of articles in your Google Reader feed, or to check for updates manually.
Clicking on a previewed subject line takes you to the original web page rather into Google Reader. A nice touch.
A Preference pane lets you set the period for automatic updates and to restrict notification to articles with a particular label.
You can also choose the level of security you are comfortable with:
Google Reader Notifier is a universal binary, freeware and available from Troel’s web site
