FaceMenu 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.
'''Please note:''' this application will work with most of your friends. However, if you are not getting notifications for some friends, it probably means that they have opted out of releasing their info to applications using the Facebook API. Tell your friends to go to http://www.facebook.com/privacy.php?view=everyone and make sure that the box labeled ''My information may be used according to the restricted Terms of Service.'' is '''checked'''. Otherwise, FaceMenu has absolutely no way of retrieving that user's profile.

This application completely relies on [http://pointlesscrap.net/mkabefook/ MKAbeFook framework] written by Mike Kinney to communicate with the [http://developers.facebook.com/documentation.php Facebook API]. In addition, the first version of the app was written by Logan Rockmore of [http://www.burgundylogan.com Logan Design].
==Known issues==
*Currently, FaceMenu will consume increasing amounts of memory as it runs. While I do not have a lot of experience with Objective-C, it appears that the problem is not in my code but instead in either the MKAbeFook framework or Apple's own XML methods. My suggestion, for the time being, is to restart FaceMenu at the end of the day before putting your computer to sleep to free up the memory that it uses.
*If you put your computer to sleep for an extended period of time, FaceMenu will obviously give a large number of notifications that happened during the time that your computer was turned off the first time it updates. Make sure that the number of "sticky" notifications is not very high, because otherwise you will spend a lot of time dismissing all of them.
