Facile is a Facebook desktop app for Mac, modestly described by the developer as “like Twitterrific for Facebook, but uglier.” We don’t think it’s particularly hideous, actually, and it’s a neat way to track friends’ status updates. It even supports Growl notifications.
With Facebook Chat being integrated into more desktop apps, there seems to be a demand for access to Facebook features without the website (and the ads). Facile makes Facebook status updates more meaningful and useful, because you can get them as they happen. If apps like this are widely adopted, we’ll definitely think of keeping our Facebook status more current. Heck, with Twitter’s current API limitations, maybe we’ll just feed our tweets into Facebook and let Facile do the work.
