Gmail Notifier makes sense. Using webmail has its advantages, but it also means either keeping a webpage open or checking back periodically to see if you have new mail. So, it's good to have an app that's lighter than a full email client, but lets you know when you have unread messages. The problem is that Google already makes a Gmail Notifier, and it's better.

Google's version of Notifier is not only better-looking than the gmailnotifier.com version, it's also available for both Windows and Mac, and supports Google Calendar alerts. Why would you want to use the off-brand version of Notifier? The only reason I could find is that it supports multiple Gmail accounts, and lets you delete messages without going to your inbox. I'll still take Google's version, thank you very much.
