Facebook LED blink on new notifications and messages demonstration

This is a demonstration of a small project for Facebook I've been working on.
A green LED will blink when a new notification is available, and a red LED will blink when a new message is received.
The green LED will stop blinking when you read the new notification(s), and the red LED will stop blinking when the new messages have been read.

does the facebook page have to be in front of the rest of the windows in order for this to work or does this work in the background?

@gugmi01 It works in the background. You just have to keep it open at all times.

Is there anything like this for Windows Live or Gmail?
