The refreshed notifications tools let users tweak birthdays and other live events, sports scores and TV reminders, and details about future events to which they've RVSP'd. Facebook is taking it a step further by enabling location-based notifications, such as those concerning local events, weather, movie times, points of interest, and nearby restaurants.
