Jenkins Job status notifier

Chrome plugin to show Jenkin's job statuses

Use-case

As a lazy developer, I don't want to look at the build monitor or always login to Jenkin's dashboard page to know the statuses of the jobs. Given I almost always have Chrome open, I want the browser to tell me when the currently configured jobs fail or a one-click link (icon near my address bar) to tell me the job statuses.
