1. Appear Online Only to Selected Friends:
Facebook chat is
one of the coolest and most useful features in FB. My dilemma, however,
was how to limit the number of people I chat with every time I log in. I
certainly can’t accommodate them all but I don’t want them to feel like
I’m rejecting them when I don’t send them a reply. I didn’t know back
then that it is possible to appear online only to a few selected
friends. A friend of mine actually gave me this idea which I’m sure
would be of use to you, too.
Here’s how to do it:
Go to Chat found at the lower right side of the page and then, click on
gear icon and click on advanced settings. A window would pop-up, now in
the field which says “Turn on chat for all friends, except..” start
adding your friends name, for whom you don’t want to appear online. With
this, you now appear completely invisible to them. Try it now.
4. Upload Photos and Videos Using Your Mobile Phone:
The last time I went to Bantayan Island, I met this cool new friend who
has uploaded his fresh photos and videos directly from his Blackberry
Phone onto his Facebook account instantaneously. Interestingly, this
process is quite simple and you can do it on all smartphones. Just visit
this

7. Quickly Upload Photos from Picasa Application to Facebook:
It was a great challenge for me to find an alternative photo hosting
application, an application that would really work to my liking. Picasa

plenty of exciting features; one of them is the ability to upload photos
