As far as I can see, it isn't. A real frustration for me is that most of the 
time, I don't have time to check my news feed, so I get notifications about 
family and close friends whose updates I don't want to miss. If I go into 
Notifications with Current, I can see the notifications, such as when someone 
has updated their status, but I can't tell what they've written unless I go to 
their Timeline, which is horribly time-consuming. If there is a way around 
this, I'd be very keen to know.
Reading the news feed isn't so bad but I hardly ever do that.
And as I say, for chat, you can use the Mac's built-in Messages app for that.
