I’ve been using RSS/Atom feeds for quite awhile now. You don’t have to school me on how great they can be. But one thing I’ve always disliked was that it seems difficult to get the information to me in ways I can utilize well.

I ran across the Google Reader Notifier two days ago, and armed with the latest version of Growl, I’m finally seeing the feeds the way I want them. Now I get sticky Growl notifications (which means they stay until I click them) for server downtimes and issues, as well as various other important things.

Yes, email works for this too. This is just nicer.
