If you do not turn off the notifications, your inbox will look like mine: http://i.imgur.com/RKQ9y.png

I was away from my computer for the past couple hours and came back to 154+ emails. Time to "Edit Notifications"...

YES! Holy farking email spam! I just got back from a lunch meetup. Someone else had added me and I had hundreds of emails.

In a related note, Facebook needs to let you edit notifications via the mobile interface. I looked, and couldn't figure it out. I actually ended up pulling out my Mifi at the end of the meetup and logging on to Facebook with my laptop just so I could opt out. Wow.

Yeah, I was really happy I had "Skip Inbox" enabled for my Facebook alerts filter.
