Facebook Added Website Comment Notifications to User Page

Sat, 02/11/2012 - 1:06am — senh

I just started noticing this recently. It’s a nice touch. Before, you would have to go into a specific comment moderation page to keep track of comments. Now, it’s all tied into your profile page, just like when someone likes or comments on your status updates.

Facebook files for IPO

Facebook has filed papers for what's expected to be the largest initial public offering ever to come out of Silicon Valley and one of the largest in U.S. history.

The filing sets the stage for an IPO in May.
