Any software that is coded to support Growl will automatically work. I use Vienna for my RSS feeds, and it supports Growl.

it seems the Growl System Notification likes a kind of virus, I hope it can never happen to my computer or spread largely.

Ah, now I see. Yes, that is built into the google reader software when they code it. Microsoft Outlook has a similar feature when you recieve new mail.

Thanks for that.

But do you know what I mean about apps that show growl-like stuff without Growl being installed? The Google Reader looks just like Growl. and you can interact with it. Is that some proprietary tool they have? Because the interface in Reader is really cool.

I am not sure of a way to do this using AppleScript, but as far as making Growl work, you dont have to do anything more than install the application. Any software that is coded to support Growl will automatically work. I use Vienna for my RSS feeds, and it supports Growl.

Google Reader has things LIKE Growl that pop up when you use keyboard shortcuts, but I never installed Growl. How do you program these things in to your App? Can you make them pop up without Growl being installed using something like AppleScript?
