Just go to the site and search for e.g. "facebook minifeed." ===== WARNING: as the site itself warns, there are malicious scripts out there. Scripts can allow quite powerful exploits of your machine. I was concerned re: this app, in case it triggered an action behind the scenes accessing the inner workings of the Facebook system - deleting feeds automatically - which would be unusual and a no-no. Is it in the "hacking" zone? I haven't got the coding skills to check it out, so I have no idea if this script is safe and advise care; I haven't noticed any problems but it's early days yet.

in case it triggered an action behind the scenes
accessing the inner workings of the Facebook system -
deleting feeds automatically -
which would be unusual and a no-no.
Is it in the “hacking” zone?

I haven’t got the coding skills to check it out,
so I have no idea if this script is safe and advise care;
I haven’t noticed any problems but it’s early days yet.

I agree, only I think you left off a few *much*es! “Facebook is a media property and a communication platform and much much much more.”

Something similar should happen with notification emails which seem to be get sent out by apps like SuperWall, FunWall when non-app events take place.
