I wrote a post on this on tuesday and the related/supposed exodus of facebook users to twitter in which is partly an excuse to work in a phrase like "...as though seized by a grand mal craptileptic fit in spam factory" into a sentence (as describing this same facebook problem as it happens)
But it looks like facebook understands the problem and is making (some) progress to put "some of the bad bits of the toothpaste back in the tube"

I've written a desktop app that lets users receive and send Facebook messages from a regular email client (www.fblocalmail.com); handling messages in this way would also let users leverage whatever tools they have for spam filtering and information management. I'm yet to include notifications (I'm developing it in my spare time), but support will be there eventually.
