I had commented on a photo of my friend’s wedding on Facebook. When I checked my inbox an hour later, there were 22 comment notifications from Facebook.

It really get annoying when you comment on someone’s photo and there after you receive a long trail of emails. But there is a way to stop getting these emails.
