Facebook Desktop Notifications brings Facebook to your Mac Desktop

I have long been a fan of Google Notifier for Mac, which sits in the menubar and notifies you if you get any incoming mail, so I was excited to hear about Facebook Desktop Notifications, a new app that basically does the same thing but for Facebook. For me, Facebook is a huge time waster and anytime I log into the site it’s easy to let 30 minutes pass just keeping up to date with all your friends statuses and picture uploads. Facebook Desktop Notifications cuts down on this wasted time by notifying me of incoming messages and notifications, so basically I can waste less time on the actual site by logging into it less often! Anything that helps me stay in touch and be more productive is a win-win in my book, so I’m pleased to have the Desktop Notification app installed. The app is beta but so far seems promising and I haven’t had any problems with it.
