Question: how do i get notifications on facebook when someone updates their status?
Answer: 2 Answers. If they are on your "Close Friends" list then by default you will be notified whenever they post. To turn that off, click on "Close Friends" in the left sidebar (if it is not there then click "More" next to "Lists" and then click "Close Friends"). Then click on "Notifications" at the top and choose "Off".
