It seems as if they've also added the ability to sort friends in to lists. Maybe this latter part has been there all along and I just noticed it, but I know the status list on steroids is new.

I like the shortening, but currently my highlighted invite is some app I'll never use. When I click through, I learn that I have event invitations in the "2 more invitations". Um, invitations to DO stuff is why Facebook is really useful for me. Well, that and Scrabulous. So I'd rather it say "2 event invitations and 86 bajillion apps" I would like to revise my comment.

I either heard about that once and it fell out of my brain, or I just didn't know. Will look into it now. Thank you, Dave, for allowing me to spew my caps-lock frustration all over your blog.
