Herald

Herald is a simple and flexible notifier for Twitter and RSS.

Pass Herald some keywords and sources to watch, and Herald will notify you using Growl, pinging or posting to a site, or running Ruby code as soon as those keywords appear.

Herald.watch do
  check :twitter
  _for "soundofmusic"
  action :stdout, :file => "log.txt"
end
