The WordPress Comment Moderation Notifier puts a little thing in your Windows mini-icon tray that let’s you know when you have a new comment, much like Outlook or Thunderbird do with email. Cool! Now we just need a Mac version, maybe using Growl? Update: There is now a Mac version.
How ingenious!
A Mac version of that working with Growl would be very cool. If I knew any Obj-C I would take a crack at it, but alas…
Very cool, would be nice to use that kind of software instead of filling the inbox with “X is awaiting moderation” messages. 🙁
And yes, a Mac version would rock, agreed.
HAHA More stuff to slow up my computer. I MUST HAVE!!
I’m really mixed about this one. Since I get comments via email, I can easily tell when someone posted a comment. If it gave me some sort of new data (perhaps mine technorati, blog search etc. for incoming references to your blog) it would be more useful to me.
mac would be nice and growl would be the way to do it. Hopefully someone can translate for us poor lonely mac users…. 😉
Don’t forget Linux 🙂 It’d sure beat email notifications.
I might try that windows one under Wine for the mean time.
Update: Doesn’t work under Wine. 🙁
Matt,
I took your idea and ran with it. Here’s what I came up with.

Sounds great! How about someone with the skills create a Firefox extension working on Win, Lin, and Mac? That would be cool!
Wow. this is interesting. I just have to try this. Thanks there Matt. 🙂
I was looking around for something like this. The only Growl notifier that I’m aware of, is the Growl Pepper for Mint. But, I consider that Mint, not WordPress — thus, less scalable to enhancing new plug-ins, as The Geek suggests. He also suggests that it can be ported to Linux and Mac.
Yes! Please! I would love a Mac version using Growl. I’d jump on that in a heartbeat.
That is sweet indeed 🙂
That’s all I want to see, tons of notifications every second letting me know their is a new spam comment. Although, does this only display a notifier if the comment is published onto the site or if their is a comment in the queue?
I have configured WordPress in such a way that an E-mail is sent to me whenever anyone posts a comment.
The email notifier is in fact also a comment moderation notifier.
It’s really great that you are thinking about users who has chosen other system than MS Windows. From the comment (ping) above I can see that Mac version of notifier is already done. It would be great if there would be also a version for Linux users.
Thanks for the link!
If anybody would like to modify the Windows client to support multiple blogs, drop me an email and I’ll send the source over.
I’d do it myself but I just don’t have the time.
i think so, linux powa!
THNX Matt, for the mac version!!!!!
How often does it check for new comments?
