I'm proud to be user #12,500 lol :)
Just started using Growl today and I must say, it's pretty awesome. I've known about it for a while but never downloaded it because I ignorantly didn't think it would be worth my time.
I was very wrong.
Tip: instead of clicking the close box on each notification one at a time, you can close all of them by pressing option while you click the close box of any one of the notification boxes.

FYI: Growl support is coming to Awaken 5. Screenshot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/embraceware/2820197110/
Does someone know how to log notifications?
I'd like to log status changes from adium, like this adium plugin seems to be doing.
Is there a way to lower the volume of iTunes while playing the sound for a notification?
Minuteur does that, and it's quite useful. :)
I loved Growl but finally had to nuke it a few days ago. It worked great in Tiger but was nothing but a pain in the butt with Leopard. Growlmail never working was the nail in the coffin as this was my favorite use of Growl.
Looks gorgeous with the iPhonesque theme.

Just got Growl along with Shimo, but now I can't get the extras b/c the growl.info site is down -- apparently it's been down a lot the last month or so :(
Note: example scripts are in the version .7.6 dmg, but not in the 1.1.2 dmg.
These scripts can be useful to monitor a folder, have a notification from Salling Clicker, etc.
The dog's boll*cks, the bee's knees, the cream of the crop. So useful it's hardly imaginable to live without. I love it. This + growlcamino = perfection.
