This may be of use to some or none but I put together a simple
growlView that relays notifications to a specified Twitter account.
You can find the source here:
http://github.com/thingsinjars/GrowlBird

and the latest version here:
http://cloud.github.com/downloads/thingsinjars/GrowlBird/GrowlBird_0.2.8.zip

I also wrote up what I was doing as I was making it so if anyone wants
a very basic (and not necessarily correct) intro into objective-C
growlView development, read this:
http://blah.thingsinjars.com/post/250/building-an-objective-c-growlview/

I'm sure the seasoned developers will spot some obvious errors but it
might be a useful start for a beginner.

fascinating!
I would like to achieve exactly the same, albeit forwarding the
notifications to a custom service of mine.
I'm intrigued as of how you managed to get the notifications from
growl... is it in some sort of log file, or are you using a network
protocol?...
anyway I might be interested in using your code, if it's open source
of course, as I'm also in the process of self-teaching objective-c :-)

It's a display plug-in. You would have to set it as your default
display if you want it to receive (and tweet) all notifications.

Of course, feel free to use any of my code. It's all available at the
github repository. It's mostly based on the sample display plugin in
the Growl Developer Downloads page:
