better_facebook_large Today my Better Facebook Firefox Add-On was approved to go public. It took a while (feels like the Apple App Store!) but after a few revisions it was finally put through the process.

This is just a re-packaging of my Better Facebook Greasemonkey Script that does the same thing.

The functionality includes:

  • Mark your Live Feed as "read" so old posts are hidden by default. Quickly and easily only see new posts
  • If new comments are found on old posts, they will be shown and highlighted for you
  • Hide or minimize by story type. For example, stop seeing all notifications about who your friends became friends with!
  • Pin the notifications panel to the upper right, so it is always easily visible
  • Track your friends, and if someone unfriends you it will automatically tell you who it was!

This script and add-on will continue to improve as I add more features. Enjoy!

This is Sandy, a relative of mine. She is trying to win a local Ugly Sweater contest, and needs your vote! She would appreciate it if you would take a few moments to register and vote for her.

Here is her sob story:

My husband and I are are wearing matching vests that I embellished with tulle, pom-poms, metallic ric-rak, and holiday buttons. The flashing pins and my light-up necklace aren’t visible in the picture. Look closely to see my Santa earrings and matching headband. I drug my husband to the packed photography studio to have these pictures taken. He wasn’t very excited to put on his vest with everyone watching. We handed out the pictures at our family Christmas party, hoping to garner some votes for the ugly Christmas sweater contest. It must have worked, we won!

Thanks!
