I’m fed up getting “suggestions” from Facebook itself. With all the serious issues it has with stalkers and privacy concerns, one would have hoped it would have limited the number of intrusive applications to only those users actively allow. It’s especially a problem as a teacher….

Hi, Eric. I don’t think you can turn off the comment notification in Facebook.

However, from my observations notifications are sent to you and me only for up to 7 or so comments. After that, the notifications stop… that is until you start adding a comment and then the cycle starts again.

Good luck, Lorraine.

Owain and Rachel, agree with you. I also think that balance is important. If you turn off too many things on your FB account, why on earth are you in FB in the first place? If you are too open, you run the risks of identity theft, being spammed, etc.

We should only allow specific people to enter into our facebook account because it should be maintained confidential. Keep the data and passwords confidential.

Don’t get me started on this. Haha. If I get another “super special friend” app invitation I will scream. Haha. Some people spend too much time on facebook.
