Facebook to End Application Notifications (Goodbye Mafia Wars!)

So after doing my now routine post-update Facebook interface poke-around, I hopped on to one of my favorite applications - Zynga’s ATTACK! which is a game of Risk online. Yes. I’m a dork. You knew that already.

Anyway, it all looked pretty similar, except a little notification I got – and that notification carries a heck of a lot of meaning:

Hallelujah! For such a tiny notification, this is immense! Annoyed by Farmville? Can’t stand Mafia Wars? Good news! They can still play it on Facebook, but notifications will be sent via email off of Facebook!

Spread the word. And no, I don’t feel sorry for Mafia Wars players.

  • This is definitely the best news I've heard coming from Facebook. I still don't know whats worse, Mafia Wars or Farmland.
  • It's FarmVille! But point taken. I hate those notifications. My wife LOVES Farmville, but even she gave it up now. It's definitely a huge positive to be getting rid of these! Go Facebook!
  • Hahaha. I just realized that myself because when I switched over to facebook, right there on the top of my news feed was, Marie could really use some help fertilizing their crops in FarmVille! Marie noticed their crops are a bit on the puny side because they haven't been fertilized yet... The sad thing is, I feel bad and I want to help make those crops grow. Then I snap back into reality.
