Derek became a fan of Fixing Notifications Overload





Facebook notifications are messy -- we get far too many of them. "Like" a status and you may come back later to find dozens of notifications because a conversation about "what's going on tonight?" ensued. Here I've proposed a solution: consolidation.

It's my theory that Facebook actually does this on purpose; notifications are the catnip that keeps drawing us back, click and clicking, making them money on ad impressions.

Ultimately though, they should support the change I'm proposing. People would interact wth more posts, pictures and links on the site if they didn't need to fear becoming mired in notifications.
