Best of all, get notifications and a newsfeed for Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and LinkedIn on your desktop.
5. Email Signup. Email Signup powered by the law firm JD Supra allows you to offer email sign-ups in Facebook. It does this by allowing visitors to your Facebook page to opt in to receive your monthly newsletters. It is an email opt-in app and installs as a tab on FB pages.
