FBQuick

FBQuick is a small software application developed specifically for helping you get instant notifications on your desktop for various Facebook events. The utility is able to automatically monitor your account and notify you in case you receive new messages or you are tagged in a photo. It can be installed on all Windows versions out there.

You can find FBQuick running quietly in the system tray without disturbing your activity. The program’s functions and configuration settings can be quickly accessed via the system tray. Although there’s no support for a help manual, you can easily get an idea about the utility works because the dedicated parameters look intuitive.

FBQuick gives you the possibility to automatically monitor your Facebook account at a preset time interval, namely 1, 5, 10, or 15 minutes. You can make the application check for messages, wall posts, pokes, tagged photos, friend requests, shares, group invites, as well as event invites.

Popup notifications are automatically displayed on your desktop each time you get a new notification. The utility offers you the freedom to define the time used for displaying the popup message by choosing between several preset time values, namely 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, or 60 seconds.

Other important configuration settings worth being mentioned enable you to run the app at Windows startup, check out the last five notifications, as well as perform a manual check of all Facebook notifications or just a single one.

FBQuick is not a resource hog so you do not have to worry that it eats up CPU and memory resources. The overall performance of the computer is not hampered.

To sum things up, FBQuick has to offer nothing more than a simple software solution for helping you stay up-to-date with the latest Facebook notifications from your account without having to manually check your web browser. It can be configured by rookies and professionals alike.
