Download Complete Photo Albums From Your Friends’ Profiles

If you have a lot of friends on Facebook, you may not have the time to keep up with all of the new family photos they’ve posted – but you are very interested in them and would love to have them stored in your own private photo collection to review later. Well, thanks to a very cool FireFox plug-in called FacePAD, you can do just that. The add-on is awesome!




After you install the FacePad plug-in, make sure you select Tools->Add-Ons, and configure the options for FacePad so it has your correct Facebook language. Then, all you have to do is go to your friend’s photo albums, right-click on the title and select “Download Album With FacePAD.” That’s right, you’re not downloading a single picture – but an entire album.

Once you do, FacePad downloads every single image within that album into the download folder you’ve configured in FireFox.

How to “Friend” Someone on Facebook & Hide It From Your Status Updates

W e have all been there and not added people as friends to facebook because of the repurcussions it could bring. There are many reasons why you would want to hide a friend added status update on facebook. Read below to find out how its done.




On your Facebook home page, you should see the ‘Settings’ menu close to the search field on your upper-right. Open that menu and go to ‘Privacy Settings’.

On the next page, you’ll have four choices: Profile, Search, News Feed, and Applications. What you’ll want to edit here are your Profile privacy settings.

By default, everything on your profile is limited to your Friends and your Networks (your first Network is likely your city of residence, but you may have joined more). From the screenshot above, you can see that I’ve limited everything on my profile to my Friends and their Friends. Anyone else who visits my profile will only see that I have a profile, but will not see what’s on it.



In my example, you’re going to want to edit the setting on your Status Updates, since you don’t want your boss to know that you’ve “fanned” the competition. Click that dropdown menu and then select ‘Customize’.

You may want to tweak your overall privacy setting here, but what we’re aiming for is the “Except These People” list at the bottom of this dialog. Type out the name of any of your Friends to restrict that person from viewing anything in your Status Updates.

Stop People From Seeing Your Incriminating Tagged Photos on Facebook

A major security flaw lies in facebook. It’s not enough that if you post an album on your profile, hackers can view it and do what they will with it, but even if you’re not the one to post the private picture, half the world can still see it. This can cause serious consequences and even embarresment if these pictures appear in front of the wrong eyes.




If someone posts private pictures of you, anyone can view them. All that has to happen is that someone tags you. You could be on holiday, not checking your emails or facebook and you come back and you realize that someone tagged you in a picture that should not be on facebook. In the mean time your family and friends and complete strangers (maybe even your boss or government) on facebook have seen these pictures. They could have even downloaded them to their computer where the evidence is documented.



Ok so you have pictures on facebook that maybe you’d rather not be public. How can you fix this problem?



It is very important to get this fixed when tagged images and videos on facebook can have devastating effects. All a facebook member has to do is randomly tag you and everyone in the world can pottentionaly see the pictures instantly that you don’t want them to see. What if your boss sees it? You could suffer personal embarrassment. You could be fired. Placed in jail. And plenty of other things.



Lets fix this facebook security flaw:

Go to your privacy page for your profile and change the setting for the tagged photos of yourself.



facebook >> profile privacy >> Photos Tagged of You



Then you click on customize.



Select the “Only Me” option.



Then select “None of my Networks.”



You can make the photos tagged to certain users but as we like to emphasis, less is more with allowing people access to your personal information.

How To Invite All Your Friends On Facebook To A Page/Group/Event

The newly redesigned Facebook has made inviting friends to an event/group/page to be an even more complicated procedure. Why can’t they just make a “select all” button that works?




It takes a hell of a long time to invite seven hundred friends to a group or page when you have to click each one in turn. That is why i created this small piece of Javascript that will add an invite to all you facebook friends to a page in a few seconds:



Go to your event/group/page, click invite people and then paste this snippet in the URL field of your browser.

Left-click the mouse in the URL field and hit Enter. Your invitations will not be sent yet, but all your friends will be selected. Click the “Invite” or “Send” button on the Facebook page to finally send the invites.

Soi! Done in one go



UPDATE: Facebook has now came up with a solution to create lists of friends. You can create several lists, based on your own personal criterias, and add your friends to different lists, which you then can send event or page invitations to. I would rather recommend using this solution provided by Facebook, so that you don’t send information which might not apply to all of your friends.

To create a list, go to your Account settings, choose Edit Friends and Create new list. After you’ve created new lists you have an option to filter friends based on list names when you’re inviting friends to events or pages.

How To Hide Your Facebook Online Status From Certain People!

Problem solved. But what about all the people who i do want to speak with or the people who do actualy need to contact me – is it really fair for a few chatterbox buddies to ruin your chances for communicating with everyone? Well, there is a way for you to selectively block your online status from certain people.

All you have to do is open up your chat icon in the lower right corner of your Facebook display, click on Friend Lists, and create a new list called “BlockList.” Make sure after you create it that it’s configured under “Display these lists in Chat.”

Now, all you have to do is either click “edit” and add the friends you want to block, or if they’re already online, just click their name and drag them under this new list. Once you’ve got everyone there who you want to block from see your online status, hover your mouse over the green dot to the right and click on “Go Offline.” Now, you appear offline to only those certain friends
