• Status updates can be made directly in FizzBoost now. If it is the first time you are updating your status in FizzBoost then it will load the Facebook permission request into your browser. This will only happen once.
• You can now update Twitter Status directly in FizzBoost. You can also tell FizzBoost to keep your Twitter Status in Sync. So when updating your Facebook Status it will also update your Twitter Status.
• FizzBoost now plays sounds when there are Notifications. You can play the default or customize the sound.
• View your Facebook Feeds directly in FizzBoost
  

 If you like the software then please review it on the official Facebook Application page.

If you awesome folks have anything to say good or bad about FizzBoost let me know. I'm totally committed to making FizzBoost the most awesome Facebook notifer there is!

The newest version of FizzBoost has been released!

With the myriad of FaceBook alert applications out there it is difficult to decide on which one to use. Functionality and quality varies considerably.

FizzBoost, for Windows XP and Vista, exploded onto the scene in mid 2007 and immediately made an impression on Facebook users. Bringing together the best of all the other alert programs, its clean interface and snazzy alerts, FizzBoost is the perfect companion to Facebook.

FizzBoost is constantly being upgraded and improved to make use of all the functionality that Facebook provides through its open API. It is easy to use and intuitive. Its small download size and compact alert system ensures that no clutter is added to your desktop. An automatic Update feature means you always have the latest version.

Try it... you won't be disappointed!

 If you like the software then please review it on the official Facebook Application page.

Current Features:  

• Get notifications for Friend Invites, Group Invites, Pokes, Shares, New Messages, New Wall Posts
• View Friends and their Albums
• Upload Photos to Existing Albums or Create New Albums.
• Status Updates - Update your status directly in FizzBoost
• Play Sounds on Notifications - Play Default sound or choose your own.
• Auto Startup - Choose whether or not to Auto Start with Windows

Latest Features!

• FizzBoost now plays sounds when displaying a new notification
• Update your status directly in FizzBoost
  

Please let me know if you find any bugs. I'm thinking of putting a feedback button somewhere in the software so feedback doesn't become a huge effort.

Thanks to you all for downloading the software. I hope it works well for you. Remember, if you have any features you would like added let me know!

 Installation Issues 

FizzBoost runs on Windows XP and Vista.

It requires .NET version 2.0 at least. 

If you have installed versions prior to 1.5 then you will have to uninstall that version in Add/Remove Programs before installing this version. Thereafter, the automatic updates will be invisible (practically).

I got an email from FaceBook saying that they won't allow any apps that have the words FACE or BOOK in them. So... In a fit of (hopefully not misguided) creativity I have changed the name to FIZZBOOST.

Its growing on me actually!

Mike is going to be doing some branding for me. I'm having visions of a Logo with little fizzy bubbles. Mmmm.

Updates on the software: 

I have added several new features to the software. Namely:

• The ability to see recent notifications
• A Friends List where they can be easily Poked, Messaged etc. You will be able to view their Photo Albums from the software.
• An Event Viewer.

Hey!

 
I've been playing around with the Facebook API and its been fun. Specially since so many people I know are using Facebook. I threw together a Facebook Notifier called FaceBoost (got the domain name, yeah baby!). Basically its for people who sit on the computer all day and don't feel like opening up Facebook every 10 seconds to see if they got ANOTHER friend invite.

 
It will soon be available for public download. I would like to have a nice looking site for it, cos its cool like that. It is in a Beta release and a couple friends have it already. Facebook requires at least 5 users before they'll list it in the Applications Directory.

Will keep you posted!
