I think the notification popup stays up for too short period of time. I can barely notice what it says and once it’s gone, there is no way to bring the information back. I wish it stayed up until it’s closed manually.

Yeah I wish they handled that better and made sure it kept you logged in all the time (or at least a week at a time or something) and from multiple locations. Luckily firefox saves passwords so I don’t have to type in the login information every time, but still..

Odd, I haven’t noticed that over here. Do you have to login every session just like Facebook.com? That’s what annoys me the most right now.

Eh, this is kinda cool, but I think they could have worked on it a little longer. I keep getting notifications that “Blah Blah is now your friend” when they’ve been on my friends list for a year? Also hopefully it doesn’t notify me 5 times a day that a friend of mine joined some random group 2 weeks ago like the newsfeed does.

Hmm, yeah I guess the sidebar could be useful for that. To your second point, I actually sat down one day and updated the ‘how you know the person’ information and removed people who weren’t really friends. It’s made my Facebook experience much more valuable. ;)
