Why do i get notifications on facebook that aren't even related to me?

[R]

Facebook adds new "features" all time. So many in fact, that its hard to keep up with the changes, thus creating sometimes confusing cases of "wait, did I change that in my settings?? What the hell is going on?" The new features usually just show up and start wreaking havoc, leaving it up to YOU to turn them off. So its more of a question of what you haven't yet messed with, (turned off) in your settings, rather than what you have.

As far as the trivial updates from the really people you'd rather not get updated on..you can easily specify the updates you don't want to receive, as well as the ones you'd like in your settings.

Hope this helps...
