Google Reader And GMail Notifier In One With GWatchman

GMail and Google Reader NotifierIf your like me who is an avid user of GMail and Google Reader then you might want to try at GWatchman as your Desktop notifier whenever a new email or feed arrived on your account. GWatchman is a portable tool that sits on system tray and religiously checks google services (mail, reader) for new feeds/messages and displays a popup alert when they arrive. Aside from its basic feature, you can also integrate it with Growl and modify its default background. To use it you must first provide your Google Account credentials. You account info (username and password) is saved on a XML file (with password being encrypted). You can set the checking interval from 30 seconds to 3 hours.

After all the initial setup, it will run on background and alert you regularly with a popup message.
