FMenu

FMenu is an outstanding software application designed to facilitate Mac OS X and Facebook users with efficient Facebook interaction. The program hovers near the clock on the menu bar and keeps the users notified of the most recent happenings. Its primary function is to provide prompt notifications to the users about different events on Facebook. In addition to this, there is a menu for the most commonly accessed Facebook pages. The user can stay informed about messages, pokes, events, friend requests, wall posts, and photo comments through this software; all it requires is an active Facebook account.

One of the remarkable features of FMenu is the Quicklaunch box, which provides immediate access to the profiles of Facebook friends. Simply type the name of a friend, and the software will autocomplete the name. Pressing enter takes you straight to that friend's profile. Moreover, Facebook search is also available, allowing you to type a phrase and press enter for a quick search.

FMenu integrates with Growl for configurable, customized notifications based on individual user's preferences. The display style, as well as turning the notification on/off, can be tweaked in this app. Various types of notifications are available, including updates to friend profiles, status changes, new notes, messages, pokes, photo comments, friend requests, and new wall posts.

FMenu is designed to last, with checks for notifications happening every seven seconds. Notifications are further grouped according to type, and each kind of notification refreshes every 35 seconds. This software is an excellent choice for improving interaction with Facebook, and its only requirements include having an active Facebook account and Growl installed.
