I use facebook on android. Now the feeds to which i subscribe do not show up in my notifications. Many of them disappeared with the upgrade. Note: those same disappearances did NOT disappear from my Blackberry. I am NOT NOT NOT happy. Might as well get the notifications from Twitter, which I will use much more now.
