Get Real-Time Facebook Updates On Your Desktop

I love it when I find a cool new social media tool that I can share with friends and others.  Facebook Desktop is one of those social media tools that notifies you in real-time when friends post something new to Facebook, updates their status, comments on your photos and more.  All this without the need for a browser and its not intrusive when it notifies you.

Notifications show on the right side of your screen briefly and then fade out of sight.  If you miss a notification you can have it replay the last five updates.  Users can also pause updates or adjust settings accordingly to lessen the amount of updates.

You can download Facebook Desktop to your desktop free of charge.  It installs within a few minutes.
