In our Facebook group the other day I commented about the clunkiness of Facebook’s messaging system and, in addition, how the time-lag in e-mail notifications tends to screw me up more often than it helps me out.
So I decided to go in and turn off my e-mail notifications. On a normal day I’m plugged in to Facebook more often than I’m not anyway, and cutting out the e-mail loop is going to both unclutter my inbox and hopefully keep me from having to check phantom messages all the time.
On the other hand, I’ve recently discovered that the only way to accept new friend requests is to follow the link from one of those emails. Does anyone know where they’ve hidden that “?=reqs” page?
I could bookmark it, but that seems silly…

Hi Jason,
I ready to start turning off the flood of social media notifications.
And yes, you can find your waiting Friend Requests from within FB. I will blog how I routinely ‘read’ Facebook. Be back with a link.
