Neat little tool - Google Notifier

I discovered this little tool from my Twitter feed.
(Twitter is awesome, not just a time wasting social networking tool for celebrities. NO! Twitter has real educational value)
.




I follow @Mashable. They have an amazing blog and they tweeted this blog post.


Going down the list I came across this Gmail Notifier.

Gmail offers a free Notifier as a quick download that will alert you with a visual pop-up and audio cue when new mail has arrived, even if you don’t have Gmail open in a browser.

It automatically checks for new mail every two minutes, with the icons changing to show unread mail in case you miss the notification. The app is available for both Windows PCs and Macs. It should be noted that downloading this will also make Gmail your default e-mail program, which you might need to consider if you don’t want this to be case.






So now I have two additional icons on my menu bar and I get a beep when new mail arrives in my gmail in box.
