Personally, I think that it is a very useful answer, and good answers aren't always literal responses to the stated question, but the OP didn't ask for software recommendations, or other alternatives, but for reasons to prefer Little Snitch over the default firewall. – Daniel ♦ Jan 16 '12 at 7:08.

Designed and developed in Australia, this powerful little time lapse unit is durable and simple to use. It is designed to last outside in the elements without any need to visit the camera once installed. It has infinite solar power with a 30 day lithium ion battery backup and is connected to the 4G mobile network for uploading every photo it takes for monitoring.
Make an order and we will express post a Little Snitch to you right away. Installation is easy and takes only 5 minutes. You have the choice to either fix the mount to a pole using the provided hose clamp or screw into a solid wall using the provided screws. The camera comes preset so you only have to point it in the direction you want to capture, tighten the mount wingnuts and switch it on.
As soon as you switch the camera on, the Little Snitch will start taking photos at 30 minute intervals and instantly upload them to your personal monitoring page. That is where you will be able to see a full photo history of your project. You can choose any day from the calendar to see what happened on that day.
On completion of your project we will go to work creating your custom time lapse video. We use our video production background to leave you with a spectacular time lapse video that is ready to broadcast to the world. The video will open with your custom animated logo and uplifting royalty free music in the background. Then you will see your project develop from start to finish in an eye pleasing flickerless time lapse. The video will end on your logo and subtitle with any other details you might wish to add ie. website, phone number etc.
Why are our videos better?
It’s because we:
Remove any images without activity (weekends, RDO’s, after hours, etc.)
Remove rainy days and high contrasting images to remove the strobe effect
Blend the images together on a time line
Edit into a seamless video with music and a custom animated logo
Your Mac is a Net whisperer; a sleep talker; a teller of tales; a spreader of information. It's always sending messages to unseen servers while you go about your daily work. How do you keep tabs on and take control of what your Mac is talking to? Objective Development's $45 Little Snitch is the ticket to truly understanding and managing who your Mac makes contact with.
Little Snitch
Price: $45+ for a new copy; $25+ for an upgrade
Bottom line: Little Snitch is not only a great firewall application, it's educational and fun to use.
The Good
Does more than the built-in firewall
Has three different modes for more specific controls
The Map lets you see where all the traffic is coming to and going from.
Customizable features
The Bad
Buying more than one license can get pricey.
Mind this chatter
Little Snitch is a firewall application and, as you may know, your Mac has a built-in firewall that you can turn on and use to quietly block unauthorized incoming network connections. So why buy a separate app if you already have something built-in? The answer is simple: Little Snitch does more than just block or allow incoming network connections. It gives you detailed information on all your network communication, whether it's from the outside world coming into your Mac or it's being sent from your Mac to anywhere on the internet.
Chatter from your Mac isn't all bad. In fact, most of it is good and necessary. Your Mac regularly checks the App Store to make sure your apps and OS are up to date. You stream music and movies from iTunes, Netflix, Hulu, and Pandora. You send and receive email, messages, and files all as a part of your normal work and play.
However, every web page you connect to also talks to ad servers and every app you open may also send information about you, your Mac, and about the app itself back to the company that created it. Little Snitch logs all this information and lets you look at it, see what the communication is about, and choose when or whether you want to allow your Mac to make that communication in the future.
Simple is as simple does
Little Snitch offers three modes of operation:
Alert Mode
Silent Mode—Allow Connections
Silent Mode—Deny Connections
By default, Little Snitch uses Silent Mode—Allow Connections, which behaves just like Apple's built-in firewall does, which is to say that it assumes any application on your Mac that is properly signed is allowed to send and receive data at will. It also tracks every connection, while allowing all network traffic to freely enter and exit your Mac, so you can look at those connections and decide whether or not you want to make that connection in the future. This mode is the best choice for most users.
Alert Mode asks you to make a choice each time an application attempts to make a connection to the Internet. Once you make a choice, Little Snitch remembers your choices and allows or denies that connection in the future. Initially, if you're just starting to use Little Snitch, this can feel more like Annoying Mode, as you'll need to approve or deny every network connection attempt.
Silent Mode—Deny Connections is designed for situations where you want to create specific rules about which connections you will allow. Any connections you have not created an explicit rule for will be denied without asking for your approval.
The all seeing eye
The fun begins once Little Snitch is installed. A small menu item appears on the top of your screen and displays a small gauge setting so you know when you're sending and receiving network traffic. Click that menu and you'll see options to change modes and items for Little Snitch's Network Monitor, Rules, and Preferences.
Open the Network Monitor and a new window will open displaying a map of the world centered on your current location with arcs of network traffic traveling from your Mac to various locations throughout the world. A sidebar displays a list of applications sending and receiving traffic. Selecting one of those apps highlights where your traffic is going on the map. Another sidebar on the right displays a Connection Inspector which you use to view general and detailed information about data being sent with specific information about the application selected and why it might be sending or receiving information.
While viewing the Map or using Little Snitch's rules window you can select different apps and processes and use a small switch to allow or deny network traffic by flipping a small Rule Management switch.
Lockdown by location
Little Snitch has a multitude of customizable features, but one of my favorites is Automatic Profile Switching (APS), which allows you to create filtering profiles based on the network you're connected to. Want to be invisible when you're at Starbucks? No problem, you can create a profile for that. Not as worried when you're on your home network? You can create a profile for that. When you hop on a network APS detects where you are and automatically changes your Little Snitch profile to match your settings for the network you're on.
The ultimate lockdown
I wouldn't normally think of a firewall as something fun. It's business, pal. Just business. But that's not true of Little Snitch. Not only is it a great firewall application, it's educational and super fun to use. If you need something more than Apple's built-in firewall or if you need better insight into which applications are sending information from your Mac to servers on the Internet, Little Snitch is the best app I've seen, which makes it the best app for you.
