Facebook Continues To Improve Notifications

Facebook wants to push more notifications, alerting users that there are games to be played and applications with which to be interacted, but it wants to make sure that it doesn't spam people. The site announced Friday that is putting more controls in place to ensure that users aren't bombarded with notifications that will only be ignored or hidden.

Facebook made a significant change to its notifications application-programming interface in August, as users started to see more notifications, such as friends’ victories in games or reminders that they hadn’t used certain apps in a while.
