It was a good idea and when it worked it did just what I needed. Sometime it would not start up. I also noticed that something weird was going on on my Mac that I couldn't pin down to any other process. When opening any window or returning from screensaver there would be a long delay. This applied to any window of any app, even simple ones like address book and calculator. It would sometimes take 20+ seconds instead of the usual 1 if that. I would also see the memory and processor activity spike for that period of time. I took all the other Preference Panes and startup apps out and this was one of the only things left running. Ever since I've removed it, the problem has gone away. I don't know what it was doing for those 20+ seconds...

I'm looking forward to Snow Leopard Compatibility!
Fairly good application. I'm not into all the hierarchical menus as I find them a pain to navigate. I find it easier to go to the Facebook site instead of having to wade through the menus.
Personally I prefer MacFace / Amigo as it also shows the photos of your friends and gives just as much info as this app, however it's a matter of personal choice.
I started up for me the first time, then after restarting it wouldn't start up. I trashed the prefs, and tried again and it worked, but I had to reenter the username/password. I'm new to FB, so I don't have any freinds yet :( ... so I don't know if any of the functions are working.
Crashes in Leopard for me on my 1.67GHz PowerPC Powerbook. It worked at first for a few restarts, then fails to launch in the menubar... A fix would be greatly appreciated.
I also have the problem of it randomly quitting. It seems to do that when my Wifi goes out temporarily.
Also, I wish I could have it start at login without putting it into my dock. Or am I just missing something?
