FBuntu is an application that integrates Facebook into the Ubuntu Messaging Menu and displays NotifyOSD notifications for each new Facebook notification you receive.
The application is a bit difficult to set up but I've tried to make it easier so all you have to do is copy/paste a few commands:
1. Install BZR and get FBuntu using the commands below:
sudo apt-get install bzr
cd
bzr branch lp:fbuntu2. Click THIS link to authorize FBuntu with Facebook. After authorizing the application, copy the link to which it redirects and paste it into the url="" field (it's on line 24) in the auth.py.example file (you'll find it in the fbuntu folder in your home directory).

- A new Power Indicator is available by default:

According to a recent update to the Ubuntu Wiki Messaging Menu page, the MeMenu will be integrated into the Messaging Menu. Further more, the MeMenu Ubuntu wiki page now says it's obsolete and will be replaced "by an IM status section in the messaging menu", which makes it pretty clear that the MeMenu and Messaging Menu unification is about to happen.
What's MeMenu / Messaging Menu?
The MeMenu is the applet next to the session menu which you can use to set your status or post an update via Gwibber:
The Messaging Menu is the enveloper icon next to the clock and it lets you know when you get a new notification in the applications that use it (by default: Empathy, Evolution and Gwibber):
