FizzBoost 1.5

Facebook is probably the most popular social networking site nowadays, which means that there are dozens of Facebook-based applications created everyday. One of them is Fizzboost, a small tool that enables you to manage your Facebook account from the system tray.

After authenticating the program so that it can access the Facebook site, Fizzboost will sit unobtrusively on your system tray and will display a notice every time a friend wants to add you or whenever you've got unread messages, pokes, wall posts and more. The program also displays links to quickly access the most important areas in your Facebook profile.

In general terms I found the program to be quite useful for Facebook users, allowing them to be permanently aware of any important changes without having to be constantly logging into the site. On the downside, the app was a little buggy and some of its functions, like the Photo upload tool, are still a bit clunky.

With Fizzboost you can view what's going on in your Facebook account without having to log into the website, right from your Windows desktop.
