Screenshots
Reader Notifier is a convenient plugin that allows you to have desktop control over Google Reader. It provides a menu bar interface where you can easily access your Reader, refresh unread items, and add new feeds. With Growl support, you can stay up to date with your unread items without having to constantly check the web application. Additionally, Reader Notifier includes TorrentCasting, which lets you keep up with media in RSS feeds such as torrents, podcasts, and videocasts. However, there is a known bug where the plugin displays a random number in the menu bar when there are too many unread items. Overall, Reader Notifier is a useful tool for avid Google Reader users who want quick and easy access to their feeds from their desktop.
