NowStreaming gives you an immediate windows notification (within a minute) of when someone goes live, you can use the built in twitch following list or use a custom list. afterwards it sits in your browser bar and you can click on it to see who's live and go straight there. had it for years and it's super fucking useful if you don't use a multistream site
