popCoin: Get Notified of Bitcoin Payments

popCoin is a Chrome add-on that allows you to quickly and easily get notified of incoming and outgoing Bitcoin payments. With popCoin, you can specify any Bitcoin address and receive small notifications at the top right corner of your screen whenever a payment is received or sent. The notifications display the payment amount in both BTC and USD.
