Today Facebook released what seems to be their first official Mac application, and as far as I know their first desktop app altogether, Facebook Notifications. I was very happy to hear about it (just in time) because I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard to discover that my previous Facebook client, FMenu, crashed on launch. FMenu had always been sort of weird and buggy anyways, so I was glad to be rid of it.

Of course, it isn’t at the 1.0 mark yet (they started with 0.5), and it won’t be fully featured for a while. It doesn’t seem to update you via Growl whenever friends update their statuses like FMenu did, but it does use Growl for other notifications such as invitations or private messages. I also haven’t had a crash or any buggy behaviour so far.
