hello; we are all frustrated with Facebook, but its just so hard to give it up completely. what i do is to subscribe to as many people as possible out of my friends list. then i set notifications to send me an email anytime anything happens. then i just hit reply in my mail program. when i want to post a photo, video, or status update i go to the regular Facebook and use the control option i for a finder menu and choose update. then i can arrow left or right to find the field i want. If someone sends me a friend request, i click the link in the message for accept or ignore. i wish you luck, max On Jul 3, 2012, at 9:12 AM, Søren Jensen wrote:
