The free, open source Google Reader Notifier keeps an eye on your Google Reader feeds and notifies you of new items (who’d've thunk). While Google has been dragging their feed on an official notifier for their Reader, it’s always great to see the open source/freeware community take the reigns to fill those holes. If you’re on a Mac, there’s the Google Reader Notifier for Macs; or, if you’ve always got a browser open, you might want to grab the Google Reader Notifier for Firefox.
