Something i've noticed recently is that my feed is flooded with the "x has become friends with y" type of notifications. I literally see 5-10 of them in a row, they make for a very monotonous feed experience. I think its supposed to be a nudge for me to add co-workers and acquaintances to facebook.

They're running out of things to notify you about. I've recently been getting a lot of "X updated their status", where X is someone who I've recently chatted with or whose status I've liked within the past month.

It's silly, but I suppose it's worked on some people.

"x commented on {totally unrelated y}'s status" ... 6 days ago -_-
I got one notification like, a friend X posted to a group Y (which I'm part of).
You're losing the game! Go add more friends!
