Growl, the popular system notification system, has [gone to the Mac App Store for it's latest version](https://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=6PFrOqNV4B8&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD%5FPARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fca%252Fapp%252Fgrowl%252Fid467939042%253Fmt%253D12%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30&ref=chrisenns.com).

Growl is commonly used by applications within Mac OS X to notify you of tasks being completed - i.e. when you're uploading a large file to a server and you switch away to do something else and don't want to have to constantly check to see if it's done, Growl will pop up a little window to let you know the file is done.

It's not one of those apps that's critical to day to day use of a Mac, but you sure miss it once it's gone. And it looks like for support in Lion, it'll be a must purchase for most previous users.

At $1.99 it's no longer the **free** system notification system it used to be. But hopefully with real money behind it's development it will only get better.
