How to Download All Your Facebook Information to Your Computer

The world’s largest social networking site has become a habit. From sharing links to photo albums, Facebook is a virtual timeline of our lives. Thus, it is the next best thing to a digital diary. Agreed, it is not going to shut shop in a hurry, but there’s a chance that your Facebook account gets deleted (you accidently delete it or you fall victim to a hacking job).

A backup could be vitally important to revive your profile. Facebook tells you how to keep your information safe by downloading all your messages, wall posts, photos, status updates and profile information.

How to Hide Photos or Status Updates in Facebook From Certain People

What do you do when you don’t want your ex-girlfriend (with whom you’re friends on Facebook) to see the pictures of your new girl that you just posted? How do you hide the snaps of the weekend drinking binge you had with your friends, from your conservative relatives ( and parents )?

In both the above-mentioned situations, not having such people as friends on Facebook is always an option. But that may not be the most convenient one. Luckily, there’s a way to hide your Facebook photos, videos, and status updates, from people who shouldn’t see them.

How to Easily Insert Any Image Right Inside a Facebook Chat

At first glance, Facebook seems kind of antiseptic with its hospital blue colors and whites. The only color on the pages comes from all the postings we make and get in our feeds. I personally like it because it kind of keeps me focused on the content and is definitely easy on the eyes. Then there’s Facebook chat, which is even more bare-bones. It has none of the razzmatazz of Yahoo Chat. It is fun in its own right, agreed. But experimenting and trying out new things with its look won’t hurt, right?

How to Update Facebook Status (and More) from MS Outlook

I personally do not like to spend a lot of time on social networking web sites, but most people I know are almost always online on either Facebook or Google+. I have nothing against but there are people like me who prefer staying away and keeping it simple.

I tend to not use the browser interface of social sites like Facebook because that eats up one more tab on my browser. Yet, when I am working or checking my emails (on MS Outlook, that’s what I use) there’s always this unstoppable urge to check the updates on Facebook or update my status. Can’t blame me you guys, can you?

Ask questions of Facebook friends anonymously with wannaask.me

wannaask.me is a nifty gadget that lets you ask questions on Facebook anonymously. It’s free, fun and can be amazingly informative for both long time friends and new acquaintances

Facebook is probably the biggest social site on the Internet, or close to it. I don’t know the specific numbers or traffic data but it’s a household word and nearly everyone on the planet has some kind of presence on there, it seems. It is, therefore, one of the biggest social pipelines to learn more things about the people in your friends list, as well as new people you may have just met. Facebook page URLs are even showing up on business cards these days, from salesmen to major entrepreneurs. So, with that in mind, let’s take a look at one of the coolest Facebook tools I have seen to date.

How to Bulk Delete Facebook Messages In An Instant

There are some unheralded little extensions in the Chrome Web Store that sometimes boost your productivity tenfold. Just one such is a tiny Chrome extension called Facebook Fast Delete Messages. When it comes to Facebook, we (or at least I) access the Messages page directly. Facebook has lately become chat centric, and unanswered chat messages find their place and pile up on the Messages page. If you are a super-user, then that page could easily rival a Gmail inbox in terms of clutter.

How to Create a Password-Protected Facebook Chat History Backup

Sometimes it becomes really important to save chat history and discussions to have them handy for future references. Now, we know that chat services like Gmail (or Gmail chat) and Facebook log our chat messages so that we can get back to them when we are online.

But, that does not always help because we may not be online at that time. Other than that, we may want to create a local copy of the same. And in order to do that we should be able to save the conversations on our hard disk besides just being able to access them online.

Why Facebook uses Blue Color?

When you open Facebook, the first thing that you notice is the blue color it uses. Ever wondered why is Facebook so blue in Color and not upgrading its theme.

Ever since they started as 'thefacebook', Facebook has sticked with the blue color. Although major changes have been made in the Facebook theme since then, the major unchanged thing has been the blue color.


Facebook from its early days when it was known as thefacebook

An exciting fact: In its earlier days, thefacebook.com required you to have an .edu email id to join.

Everywhere from its login page to Facebook groups, you find only blue.

Facebook Login Page. All Blue!

The reason for this is that Mark Zuckerberg, the young founder of Facebook is red-green color-blind and blue is the richest colour for him which he confirmed in an interview with Leo Laporte in an online interview.

Another important commercial factor for using blue color is the fact that most colors tend to distract the viewers. Blue on the other hand acts as a transparent background to the main content as visible to the human brain due to which most popular websites tend to use the blue color. It can easily be called a webmaster's favorite color. Blue Color is also sometimes referred to as 'Nirvana' for the brain.

All these factors make blue a prominent color on Facebook.

If you are bored with Facebook's blue theme and want a stylish theme, visit Change Facebook Theme.

Download Facebook Account 's Information and Pictures

OK. So you are an active Facebook User. Imagine, just imagine, some grieved enemy of your reports your posts, and Facebook ends up deleting your account. How would you feel?
Ruined?

Well, not now. Facebook, the most popular social networking site, has improved upon its features. It now allows you to download all your account information at the click of a button.

While this has been requested by users for years now, finally Facebook has introduced the feature of downloading your Facebook account. The download will be in the form of a zip file containing all your profile pictures, wall posts and videos. Your messages, friend list, photos, events, likes ( and almost everything you have ever uploaded on Facebook )also will be included in the downloaded zip file. Upon unzipping the downloaded zip file, you will find a simple HTML file of your profile with offline links to the above stated things.

Downloading your account will not mean that Facebook will delete your profile. It will only serve as a backup and a leisure activity to give time to on Sundays.

You can simply download your account by following the steps given below:-

Login to Facebook.
Click on the down arrow at the right side of the top navigation bar.
Navigate to Account Settings.
Click on Download a copy of your Facebook data at the end of the page.

This link will only be available after you have entered your security question and confirmed your password. This additional security has been wisely added by Facebook so that no one else downloads your personal information.

Although this will be a good feature, Facebook will offer no way to re-import this information from your hard drive to your account or to a new account, if you wish to take a little break from Facebook.

Note: This feature is still not available on Facebook and will be available shortly as soon as Facebook completes testing it. I will update this post when this feature is publicly available.

Update: You can download your Facebook Account now as this feature is publicly available.

Change Facebook Theme Color, Appearance, Skin, Style or Template

Facebook is a social networking site which enables people to connect with friends and people around. That's how Facebook is usually introduced but Facebook is beyond the requirement of being introduced as almost everyone is on it. But Facebook has one flaw, the default blue theme is really boring.

Some even consider it an annoyance while visiting Facebook. As Facebook does not allow users to change its theme like MySpace used to, users are left with no other option but to bear the theme Facebook wants them to use.

However, it is relatively easy to change the Facebook theme to a stylish one using a Firefox addon and custom themes which are available free of cost on the internet.

An example of the final outcome would be something like in the image.

This is the Ferrari theme. More themes are available for you to choose.

Requirement: The basic requirement for this to work is to have Mozilla Firefox 3.5 or higher.

Steps to achieve this: The following steps should be carried out to successfully change Facebook theme.

Open Mozilla Firefox and install 'Stylish' addon.
Follow the basic steps to install the addon.
Restart Firefox after successfully installing the Stylish addon.
Login to your Facebook Account and click on the small 'S' button in your Firefox status bar.
Click on "Find Styles for this Site" to open a new tab with free themes to use for Facebook.
Click on any theme and a preview will be shown.
If everything is fine in the previewed theme, click on "Install with Stylish" button at the top right corner of the page.
A dialog box will open.
Click on Install in the dialog box.

Installing Ferrari theme for Stylish Firefox

Now whenever you open Facebook, it will show the theme that you have installed with Stylish instead of the boring old blue theme.

Facebook Tricks, Tips & Hacks

Almost half of all the sharing that happens online is done on Facebook. This in itself is testament enough that Facebook does the job of connecting people fairly well. However, there are some tips and tricks that can allow you to get more out of Facebook and this article contains a list of some of the best such Facebook tips.

Stop Hackers on Facebook
Are you worried about hackers hacking your Facebook account and posting stuff you don't want them to? Just read the linked post to protect yourself from most basic hacks.

Change Facebook's Theme
Are you bored with the default blue colored Facebook theme and want to get rid of it? Go change it to something super cool in Firefox.

Facebook Galaxy Theme

Post an Empty/ Blank Status
Are you tired of constantly thinking new and interesting status updates for your Facebook friends? Then, post an empty status and show your friends that you denounce the thinking that if your status isn't cool, you aren't either. Just go to Facebook, hold Alt and press 0, 1, 7 and 3 respectively and click Post. This will post the null character as your status which basically is an empty space. Laptop users can do this after activating the Number Lock.

This is how the empty status looks like.

Subscribe to the RSS feed of your Notifications
Go to Facebook's notifications page and click on the RSS link to find the RSS feed containing all your recent notifications. You can then subscribe to this feed in any desktop based RSS reader to instantly know when a new notification occurs.

Change Facebook's Posted via text
Have you noticed that when you update your Facebook status from a mobile, Facebook adds a "Posted via Mobile" link at the bottom of it? You can change that to say hilarious things like "via Carrier Pigeon" or "via My Bedroom." To do this, just go to PostedVia, choose a delivery option and update your status or post to a friend's wall.

I posted this status from the unreleased iPhone 5 ;)

Know when friends Unfriend you
Facebook notifies you when someone adds you as a friend but Facebook does not notify you when someone unfriends you. If you wish to access this data, you can use Social Fixer Facebook extension, which will not only allow you to do this but a lot more too.

Update Facebook Status from Firefox
FireStatus is a Firefox addon that allows you to instantly update your Facebook status without having the need to visit Facebook again and again.

Use Dynamic Facebook Profile Links to Fool your Friends
This is a funny use of technology to have fun with your friends. Just say some mean things in your status and then include this link -> www.facebook.com/profile.php?=1233445566. This may look like a link to a specific person's Facebook profile but in reality, it redirects users to their own profile. This happens because of the missing 'id' parameter. You can change the numbers to anything you like.

Find Exactly What you are looking for on Facebook
If you ever had trouble finding a friend or a specific post by one of your friend, you should definitely take a look at the Facebook page on searching. It will help you to get acquainted not only with how Facebook search works but also enable you to get the most out of it.

Access Facebook Chat on Your Desktop
Have you ever wanted to chat with your Facebook friends without opening a web browser? Desktop based applications like Digsby and ChitChat can allow you to stay connected with all your friends even when you close your web browser. This is much similar to chatting with Yahoo! Messenger or Google Talk chat client.

Facebook Chat: Emoticons, Tips & Tricks To Enhance Conversation

Ever since Facebook released its instant messaging application on its site in 2008, many of its users have been utilizing the chat function to keep in contact with their Facebook friends. It is a simple function, but nonetheless user-friendly. Comparing what it is now and what it was three years back, not many would say it has changed much; it’s still a small bar located on your bottom-right corner which expands to let you see who’s online when you click on it.

That doesn’t stop avid fans of facebook from discovering a couple of interesting tips and tricks to enhance your experience with its chat function. Below are some great tips and tricks you can use to customize the way you chat with Facebook.

In 2010, Facebook added a new interface to its chat service which provides the Jabber/XMPP protocol. Since then, Facebook chat is accessible from any Jabber-supporting instant messaging programs.

How To Clear Messages Chat History [Quicktip]

If you have already tested the new Messages for Mountain Lion, then you would probably notice that there is no option to delete your chat history from the chat window. Yes, you may be able to perform ‘Clear Transcript’, but when the Messages are reopened, the transcript will reappear like it was never deleted in the first place.

This is most probably a bug (since Messages is still in its Beta phase) that will definitely be fixed eventually, but until then, there is a surefire way to clear your chat transcript from your Mac. This quick guide will show you simple steps you can take to clear your Messages chat transcript from Mac by deleting the chat transcript file from the iChats folder.

Locate And Delete Chat Transcript

To delete your Message chat transcript, open your Finder window and click on ‘Documents’.

In your Documents folder, you will notice that there is a folder called ‘iChats’, click on it and you will see a number of subfolders labeled with dates. This is where your chat transcripts are kept.

Open the folder to check your transcript, and delete the files there to totally remove your chat history.

To complete the process, empty your recycle bin to permanently remove the chat history.

How To Listen To Music With Friends On Facebook [Quicktip]

Listening to music and singing along together with your friends can be a wonderful and memorable experience but you can only do that when you are physically together. But here’s some good news. The whole experience is about to change because even from home, you can now listen to music, new and old, with your friends, on Facebook.

With the new Facebook ‘Listen With’, you get to listen to music on Facebook and share the experience with your friends in real time. No status updates are required, instead the music you play will automatically be reflected on your chat sidebar on Facebook and your friends will be able to join in, and even chat about it. With more friends listening, the chat can even turn into a group chat.

Playing Music From Facebook

To listen to music from Facebook, first log in to your Facebook account.

1. Go To Facebook Music

When you have logged in, head over to the Facebook Music page (http://www.facebook.com/music) and you will see a list of trending albums with music tracks powered by Myspace and Saavn. There’s also Spotify and Rdio but currently the use of these two are only supported in a few countries.

You can also open the music page from your Facebook wall by accesing it from the left menu under the “Apps” category.

2. Add Application To Facebook

When you are in the Music page, pick any music you’d like to play and a pop-up window will ask you to add the service to Facebook. Simply click on the “Add to Facebook” button.

Note that the pop-up window above is to add the Myspace application only. You will be asked again to add new apps should you want to play music from Spotify, Rdio or Saavn.

3. Play!

Once added, the music application will open a new tab on your browser (or new window, if not supported) and you will be redirected to the Myspace or the Saavn player page. No action is required, simply wait for the page to load and the selected song will be played automatically when it is ready.

Just so you know, the next time you want to start playing a song from Facebook, you will see a pop-up window asking if you would like to open a new tab/window to start playing the song.

Find Out Who Is Listening To Music

Facebook Music updates itself automatically, and you will be able to check who is listening to what, in real time. This also means that your friends will be able to know if you are listening, so they can join you or comment on your activity, or start a conversation.

There are several ways to find out if your friends are listening to music.

A. Facebook Wall

On your Facebook Wall, check out the status updates on the right. If your friend is playing music, you will be able to see the traction. Click on the traction status to see the playlist in detail, comment to start a conversation and click “Play” to start playing the music.
