A Complete Guide On Facebook Tips And Tricks

Who would have thought something that started as a mischief could go on to become the heart of a billion people�s social lives. Yes I am talking about Facebook. It is nothing short of a phenomenon, connecting people throughout the world and enabling some to rekindle their friendships and some to forge new ones.

News feed, Timeline, Status, Likes, Shares all these terms have become a part of our dictionary- at-least of mine, they most certainly are. As an active user (or to be more precise- �Facebook Addict� according to my mom) one may often find the need to customize Facebook according to his/her own preferences. So to take your Facebook experience one step further we at fossBytes have compiled some amazing Facebook Tips and Tricks , go ahead and try them out!

Stop Annoying Candy Crush/Game Requests on Facebook:

I am pretty much sure that the first entry in Facebook tips and tricks post must have caught your attention. Trust me there is nothing more irritating than the arghh� moments that you have when your phone buzzes with a Facebook notification and it turns out to be an invitation to play Candy Crush. Lots of abuses and sarcastic memes follow. But it turns out that there is a very simple Facebook tip to stop these notifications. All you need to do is this:

For Android: Open the Facebook Application. Click on the icon having three lines (you will find it in the upper right hand corner). Now click on �App Settings� and open �Notifications� and just uncheck �Application requests�.

For iPhone: Open the Facebook Application. Go to �More� and then click on �Account Settings�. Under �Notifications� click on �Mobile Push� and there simply Uncheck � �Application Requests� and �Application Invites�.

Flip Your Facebook Status:

In the mood for a little fun in Facebook tips and tricks article? How about flipping your Facebook Status? Just Click here, Enter the text of your status in the provided text-field and simply copy, paste and post it to Facebook. Enjoy while your friends turn their heads around to read the status.

Invite All Your Friends To Like A Page Instantly:

Instead of clicking Invite for each and every friend of yours which I may add I personally find to be such a dreary task that I�d rather sleep- you can simply do this:

Step 1: Open the FB Page
Step 2: Click on �Invite Friends To Like This Page�. A pop-up window will open containing the list of people you could invite to like the page.
Step 3: Now press the F12 key to open the Chrome Console Window
Step 4: Just paste this code in the Console Window and sit back and watch the code work its magic.

var inputs = document.getElementsByClassName(uiButton _1sm);
for(var i=0; i<inputs.length; i++) { inputs[i].click(); }

Gather All Your Facebook Data

Now you can also grab a copy of your entire Facebook data ranging from the photos, videos that you shared to the messages and chat conversations that you might have had with your friends. In fact you can also recover the messages and photos that you might have �deleted�. Just do this:

Step 1: Open Your Facebook Account and Go to General Settings.
Step 2: There you will see a link which says �Download a copy of your Facebook data�. Click on it.
Step 3: On the next page click on �StartMyArchive�. When asked, Enter your Facebook password. Just a head�s up the process may take quite some time to gather all your data.
Step 4: A download link will be sent to your email id. Log in to your mail account and begin the downloading process from the link.
Step 5: Just Extract/Unzip the downloaded file and you are done.

Limit The People Whom You Want To Chat With:

Often we turn on chat to discover a lot of people online yet we wish to talk to only a select few. Don�t want to make others feel that you are ignoring them deliberately by being online and yet not replying to their messages? Here�s how:

Go to the Chat Bar on the lower right-hand corner of the FB page and click on the �Gear Icon�. Then click on �Advanced Settings�� and under the �Turn off chat for all friends except�� field, enter the names of the people with whom you want to chat and then just click �Okay�.

Hide Status Updates From Specific People:

Suppose you post a status on your relationship with your girlfriend and want to hide it from your parents but not unfriend them, quite a dilemma right? Don�t worry all you need to do is this :

Step 1: On the status bar, Click the Friends button.
Step 2: Under �Who Should See This?� click on �More Options� and then on �Custom�

Step 3: A pop-up window will appear and in it under the �Don�t Share With� field, enter then names of the people whom you don�t want to share the status with.

Accept All Friend Requests At Once

Accepting all friend requests one at a time can be quite a cumbersome task! So why not use this Facebook trick:

Step 1: Open Your Facebook Friend Request Page
Step 2: Copy and Paste this code in the address bar of the page.

javascript:for( i = 1;i<document.getElementsByName("actions[accept]").length;i++){document.getElementsByName("actions[accept]")[i].click();}void(0);

Step 3: It is advisable to add �javascript:� manually as browsers tend to delete it automatically. Now just press Enter and sit back as the code handles all your friend requests on its own.

Zoom Facebook Photos

Photo Zoom for Facebook is an excellent lightweight Chrome extension that integrates directly into Facebook enabling you to see the larger images of albums, profile pictures and more by simply hovering over them.  Rest assured that it doesn�t access or misuse your Facebook data in any way.

Stop Getting Someone�s Updates Without Unfriending Them

There might be certain people in your Friend list that keep posting worthless or too much content which might tick you off! But you don�t want to unfriend them either. Well, here is a solution to unfollow someone without unfriending them.

Just open the Facebook profile of that person and click on �Following� to unfollow them. Not you won�t get updates from them in your News Feed.

Prevent Notifications After Commenting

Sometimes we grow tired of getting constant notifications of replies from the thread where we might have commented something, could be a wedding anniversary, a birthday wish, some photo of ours etc. To turn off these notifications follow this procedure:

When you get the notification, move your cursor to the right corner of that notification and click on the small cross(x) to �Turn Off� the notification and get rid of it for good.

Facebook Texts

Facebook Texts is a very cool feature that allows you to post on Facebook via a text message. It may come in handy at places where the data service is very poor. Although this feature depends on whether your mobile carrier supports Facebook Texts or not. Oh and do keep in mind that standard messaging rates apply.

In order to learn to set up Facebook Texts, click here.
To see what text messages you need to send to update your account click here.

Log Out Remotely

Suppose you forgot to log out of Facebook when you left the computer lab of your college/school or lost your Android/iPhone device. Now you would gradually begin fretting over someone gaining access to your personal Facebook data. But there is no need to worry just follow these steps to log out remotely from some other device and rest assured that the integrity of your Facebook account is not compromised.

Open Facebook Settings and head over to �Security�. There along the �Where You�re Logged In� section click on �Edit�. Now choose the device you want to stop and click on �End Activity� to log out remotely.

GIF Support:

Earlier I was going to refer a third party site to post GIF�s on Facebook. But in latest developments, Facebook has gone ahead and added GIF support to its News Feed thereby eradicating the need of any such sites. To post a GIF, you just have to paste a link in status update box. Although if you try to upload a GIF, it will show only image, but by pasting link you will be able to post a GIF on Facebook.

If you have any question so you can ask below in comments .

6 Jebakan yang Dipakai Hacker untuk Mencuri Password Facebook

6 Jebakan yang Dipakai Hacker untuk Mencuri Password Facebook

Salah satu kemudahan yang ditawarkan Facebook adalah bisa diakses di mana pun Anda berada. Dengan semua konektivitas ini, ada tanggung jawab penting yang harus dijaga yaitu keamanan account pribadi.

Untuk mencegah terjadinya pembajakan akun Facebook, Anda baiknya Anda tahu trik-trik yang dipakai hacker dalam mencuri akun. Berikut ini adalah trik yang biasanya dipakai hacker untuk membajak akun/ mendapatkan password Facebook seseorang.

1. Aplikasi Facebook dan Iklan
Berhati-hatilah saat sudah login ke Facebook. Jangan sembarangan meng-klik iklan atau aplikasi yang Anda sendiri tidak familiar. Banyak pengguna Facebook terkena virus dari iklan di Facebook atau terjebak memberikan data pribadi mereka tanpa sengaja ketika menggunakan aplikasi tertentu.

2. Halaman Phishing Login Facebook
Hacker umumnya selalu mengeksploitasi topik-topik populer. Spammer menggunakan berbagai macam cara dan metode agar Anda terjebak dan memberikan account Anda. Facebook sendiri belakangan ini banyak dijadikan target serangan spam lewat teknik phishing. Ketika kita mengklik link yang terdapat pada Facebook, kita akan digiring ke sebuah halaman yang seolah-olah halaman login Facebook, padahal halaman tersebut adalah halaman yang dirancang spammer untuk mencuri password Facebook.

Salah satu cara untuk menghindari seperti jebakan ini adalah dengan tidak sembarangan meng-klik URL pada email. Lebih baik mengetikkan URL situs yang ingin dikunjungi langsung pada browser. Sebenarnya sangat mudah untuk mengenali URL palsu. Jika URL yang tertulis bukan Facebook.com, maka URL tersebut adalah palsu.

3. Website yang Terintegrasi dengan Facebook
Seiring makin populernya Facebook, banyak blog, website, bahkan perusahaan besar yang mengintegrasikan website mereka dengan tombol Facebook dan twitter. Hal ini tidak menjadi masalah selama link Facebook yang digunakan asli. Masalah muncul ketika hacker campur tangan dengan memalsukan tombol share Facebook. Ketika kita mengklik tombol palsu tersebut, maka hacker akan dengan mudah mencuri password kita.

4. Aplikasi Online Pihak Ketiga
Waspadai aplikasi pihak ketiga yang berpotensi mencuri data. Biasanya pengguna Facebook sangat gampang memperbolehkan aplikasi tertentu mengakses akun Facebook mereka karena menganggap aplikasi tersebut dapat dipercaya.

Namun masalahnya, dari setiap aplikasi yang kita percaya mungkin saja ada sepuluh atau dua puluh aplikasi palsu yang dirancang untuk mencuri data login Facebook Anda. Karena itu, sebelum menginstal sebuah aplikasi dan menginputkan data login Facebook Anda, cari tahu kredibilitas aplikasi tersebut melalui review-review yang dipaparkan pengguna lain atau cek apakah aplikasi tersebut telah terdaftar secara resmi.

5. Login melalui Komputer Publik
Sebisa mungkin hindari login dengan menggunakan komputer publik karena akun rentan dibajak. Komputer publik sering dijadikan �alat� untuk memata-matai user. Apalagi banyak orang yang tidak sadar dengan keberadaan tombol �keep me logged in� yang terdapat pada halaman login Facebook. Seringkali halaman Facebook seseorang masih dalam posisi login ketika kita mau mengakses Facebook melalui komputer publik.

6. Chat Pop-up palsu
Jebakan lain yang digunakan hacker agar user login ke akun Facebook mereka adalah dengan menggunakan chat pop-up palsu. Dengan meniru chat pop-up Facebook, chat pop-up palsu ini akan berlagak mengajak Anda chat melalui fasilitas chat Facebook.

Jika kita mengklik window chat tersebut, maka Anda akan digiring ke sebuah halaman phishing Facebook. Atau bisa saja ini adalah sebuah iklan situs porno atau produk lain yang tidak kita inginkan. Semua taktik ini banyak digunakan hacker dan pencuri identitas untuk mendapatkan data pribadi kita. Karena itu, lakukan login hanya pada situs resmi Facebook, gunakan aplikasi pihak ketiga yang terpercaya, dan berhati-hatilah ketika login pada komputer publik.

A Facebook user profile through Big Data

A Facebook user profile through Big Data

A research by a computational knowledge engine shows how people meet and how their life works by analyzing friend and relationship status in Facebook. The research was volunteered by more than a million Facebook users on Wolframs site. Wolfram research analyzes each and every activity of a user and used it to generate reports for the activity of users in United States.
 Reports can be generated for each Facebook user and these reports are amazing. Word cloud, relationship status of friends, distribution of friends ages, friend network and many other fascinating reports could be generated. Friend clusters are made and friends are classified into social insiders (a friend who share a large number of friends), social outsiders(a friend who shares at most one friend), top social connectors(a friend who connects together group of friends who are otherwise disconnected), top social neighbors(a friend with small number of out-of-network friends - friends of theirs that we dont know) and top social gateways (a friend with large number of out-of-network friends). Basically terms are coined by using graph theory.
These are some of the screenshots from my (Robin Muthukumar) report

My activity in Facebook

Friends network

Color coded friends network

Each user can get his/her own report by using this link http://www.wolframalpha.com/facebook/
Data like these were analyzed and compared to the United States census data and both were found to be identical. This kind of research help the Government to monitor peoples mindset and pass bills or amend laws accordingly. This kind of research helps politicians to gather their votes.
