For me, one of the main novelties of Mountain Lion - it notification center. However epplovskaya implementation imposes a number of restrictions on developers.
So, send Push-notifications may be only those applications that have been downloaded from the Mac App Store. A whole class of programs at once is beyond the «Apple Garden" - it's Skype, and Transmission and others.
Applications that were installed from other sources may show local notifications. So does, for example, the alpha version of Tweetbot for Mac.
Australian developers from the studio Collect 3 found an elegant solution. Their program Hiss forwards growl-uvdomleniya directly in Notification Center.
Programs that support Growl, a huge number. It affects long history utility. With Hiss all sent applications such notices are displayed in Notification Center. At the same time the most Growl system and can not be.
Here is a simple example. The Mac App Store is not the popular IM-client Adium. The program itself is signed, tested GateKeeper. For many years, Adium can display Growl-notification. Go to the Adium preferences window, go to the "Events". Put Growl-notification for events of interest (for example, "Message received (Background chat)." Now, when a new message arrives, you will receive a notification and a notification will appear in the Center:
With Hiss send notifications in Notification Center are all applications that support Growl.
