Hello; I get a lot of email daily from the several lists I'm subscribed to. I don't personally have a problem with the news updates as long as they are really news. I think the more important question with this one is does this mean they have or plan to fix the regular facebook so mac users can start enjoying it again? I understand the iphone is the current wave and all, but I hope that doesn't mean the people at facebook have forgotten about how unaccessible their site is with a mac. Let me know if you have heard or experienced anything different regarding this issue. Thanks, Max On Sep 4, 2009, at 6:03 PM, Scott Chesworth wrote:
