How does this compare to the applescript hack that makes Growl work with iCal properly? That one enables Growl alerts directly from within iCal using the existing iCal alert system. This thing seems to have it's own system for polling iCal for data at specific intervals.

And is there a way to follow a link to the stories in the hourly headlines?

I really like this feature.
However I can’t figure out how to add new feeds to the hourly headlines.
Where’s the interface!?

I have to agree with Daniel… bad naming choice, because I read this and thought “oh the people who made OmniOutliner are really supporting growl now”, but it’s clear after reading this that that’s not the case… he’s lucky he’s not charging for it!

My suggestion to anybody who is not The Omni Group: don't name your product by CamelCasing the word Omni with some other word.

Hmm. I cannot even open the source files in Xcode to build it myself. Guess I’ll have to wait to hear back from the developer.

That’s puzzling. It worked fine for me. I’ve had it running all day without a single hitch.

I know it is unfashionable these days, but I do actually try out things before posting them if I possibly can ;-)

Does this thing actually work for you? I got an Applescript error upon launch, no notifications, and it would not add itself to the login items. I sent a note to the developer, but just wanted to see if you had better results.
