Facebox a program for Mac OS X and Facebook. It sits in your menu bar near your clock and provides you with notifications about various events. In addition, it provides a menu to easily access common Facebook pages and keeps a count of your messages, pokes, events, friend requests, wall posts, and photo comments. Notifications are issued using Growl and can be customized to the user's liking. They are:

  • A friend updated his profile
  • A friend changed his status
  • A friend wrote a new note
  • Someone wrote on your wall
  • You have new messages
  • You have new pokes
  • You have new friend requests
  • You have new photo comments

Facebox checks for updates every 9 seconds, but checks for each kind of notification (friend details & requests, wall, photo comments, messages, pokes) separately. Consequently each particular type of notification is refreshed once every 45 seconds.
