Why? I almost never use facebook on my phone and notifications are just
a waste of time and space. I do wonder why so many of the posts I see
via the phone never show up on my computer, but... Stupid facebook!

Hrm. Mine is 143 MB for the app, 50 MB for "external app", 24 MB for
data and 184 KB for external data. The All-in-One Toolbox offered to
move a number of apps to my sdcard, so I let it. No idea whether it's
lying or not, but the apps section of the settings menu shows facebook
running on the card.
I've got more room in the 'phone' area (2+ GB empty, yay!), but I had it
move several and didn't keep a count. No point in being more anal than
necessary :-)

I wish I understood how it profits them to annoy their product. It has
to be by design, they can hire the best and there's no reason they
shouldn't. Apparently it's mostly grownups using it now, and I guess we
have a higher tolerance for pain.
What most annoys me about it is the posts that keep coming back. And
also the posts I never see. Social Fixer worked for a while, but FB
tweaked their code and the SF guy is working on fixing SF.
Usenet works exactly right, why couldn't the assholes have just paid
attention. OTOH, usenet seems to be dying. Maybe FB is too :-(
