Comments on: Refresh alerts come to Facebook's home page 'stream'

A link will now pop up when your friends have posted new items since the last time you reloaded your Facebook home page.

Just saw this on mine. Friday nights FTW!

I started receiving the New Post messages about a week ago. Thought it was rolled out to everyone.

The new design is still a failure, although I suppose everyone will just have to live with it. They still have updates scattered all over the place and little control over the content we want to see on our home page.

Is it just me or is the Facebook iPhone app getting a little quirky? Selective twitter status updates don't even show up on for me anymore, just the icon.

Yep - mine's been showing this for over 24 hours - first saw it last night. I think it's a good move toward better usability.

I wonder if the reason Twitter hasn't been able to add a auto-refresh or update notification feature is because of the immense load it would cause to their server city (I'd imagine it's like a city lol). I mean after all they sometimes run into problems just running the site as-is.

Thanks Caroline!
I'm sure you have a life. =)

I would love for the home page's filter to be adjusted a bit. Why is every single quiz to determine "what _____ you are" a separate application that I have to ask it not to show me anymore?

I've found this useful. Thanks Caroline.
