Netvibes introduces Facebook widget

Facebook is the new meth. It's a harsh, seductive mistress that pulls in all ages and races and keeps them addicted, often crippling their social and professional lives. And while it's less dangerous than meth in the sense that very few house explosions have been directly caused by Facebook, most of the destruction comes from the fact that Facebook is available almost everywhere. And it seems a new dealer has entered the scene. Netvibes launched a new widget today that allows you to access your Facebook account through Netvibes.

While there are a few limitations - you can't access your news feed or change your status from Netvibes - overall it works pretty well. Some people have reported having some problems with it, but on the whole it seems to be functioning properly. Once you install it you can view your messages, pokes, friend requests and pretty most everything else. You might as well just go ahead and install it now.
