Notifiers can improve the workflow of a computer user. They are usually desktop applications or web browser plugins that display a notification if the service that they monitor is updated. This can be a new email in the Gmail account, a Facebook status message, a new Buzz in Google Buzz or a new comment in a WordPress blog.
WordPress Comment Notifier is a desktop application for the Windows operating system that can – currently – monitor one WordPress blog for new comments.
The program displays a notification to the computer user whenever a new comment is posted on the blog. The comments are sorted automatically in the three categories approved, pending and spam which makes it easier for the WordPress user to manage them.
A double-click on the notifier window opens a bigger window that displays all approved, pending and spam comments of the WordPress blog. All comments can be edited, deleted, replied to, set as spam or no spam, unapproved and opened right from within the notifiers interface.
The notifier will check for new comments every five minutes. This interval can be changed in the options.
Configuration of the WordPress blog in the notifier is pretty straightforward. All that it takes is to enter the main url of the blog and a username and password of a user that is able to moderate comments. Those are by default either administrators or editors.
We would recommend to create a new user and use the login credentials of that user to moderate the comments.
WordPress comment Notifier can be downloaded from its Google Code project website. The program runs solid even and without problems. It would be great if the developer would add support for running multiple blogs in the notifier as it is currently only possible to configure and maintain one blog. (via Blogs DNA)
