This List is far from Complete but it has the most commonly used slang codes in facebook chat.If I missed some then do share them with our readers by posting comments.
facebook auto like script is a php script that allows liking friend’s posts or an external page or all posts in a facebook page with some level of randomness. The script comes in two versions, like friends posts (iterates an user wall to like friends’ posts) and like external pages (iterates a rss feed to retrieve external links to like).
Important update: if you’re looking for a way to automatically STEAL facebook likes from users that visit your website, then you should also read my facebook clickjacking howto blog post. I wrote it to raise awareness for this issue. You should try to understand it and focus on how to prevent it.
Like friends posts
The script runs in background and iterates a user’s facebook page every random seconds to see if there are new posts added, if so there is a coin-flip with a user-defined probability value to see if those posts should be liked.
Like Friends Posts configurations
$login_email = "CHANGE THIS TO your-login-email";
$login_pass = "CHANGE THIS TO your-password";
$users = Array(
"CHANGE THIS TO A FRIEND'S USERNAME" => 0.5,
"CHANGE THIS TO A FRIEND'S USERNAME" => 0.9,
"CHANGE THIS TO A FRIEND'S USERNAME" => 0.4,
"CHANGE THIS TO A FRIEND'S USERNAME" => 0.2,
);
That means that username1′s posts will have a 50% chance to be liked, username2′s posts will have 90% chance to be liked, and so on.
Remember to change your-login-email and your-password with the actual email and facebook password.
Like Friends Posts Code
Like External Pages
Like external pages is using an url like http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=some_URL to inject a list of urls automatically without human interaction.
Like External Pages configurations
Like External Pages tweaks
You can tweak your script to work with the different types of rss feeds. Right now it’s optimized for feedburner where there is a , however you can comment that line on the script and uncomment the line referring to if you have some other type of rss feed. Locate the following in the above script:
#preg_match_all("/([^<]+)<\/feedburner:origLink>/", $feed, $links);
preg_match_all("/([^<]+)<\/link>/", $feed, $links);
Like all posts in a facebook wall page
By user request I made a modification in the initial script so that it crawls a facebook page and goes 5 pages deep liking every post it finds. To set it up, you need to change the header of the script like the other ones, but now there’s something else because you’ll have to fill in the page you want to crawl.
1º Go to the page you want to crawl
2º Copy the URL
3º Paste the url in $fbpage
4º Change www.facebook.com to m.facebook.com
Important notes as of 23/Jan/2011: facebook blocks liking several posts at once from a certain page, so I added a sleep timer so the urls are not fetched all at once, not sure it will help; You must remember to like the page itself before liking its posts, otherwise the like button won’t be available for the posts and the script won’t see it.
Dummies and windows users
1º Install PHP windows binaries
2º During the installation select “Do not setup a web server”
3º Download the script you wish from this post
4º Open it with WORDPAD (must be wordpad, notepad will give you everything without newlines)
5º Change the first lines of the script where it says /* ———– USER CONFIGURATIONS ———— */
6º Open cmd.exe (Start menu -> run -> cmd)
7º Locate the path where you extracted the script, example: C:\fbautolike\fbautolike.php
8º Type number 9º
9º php C:\fbautolike\fbautolike.php
Note: if you get a message saying “Could not open input file” then you’re typing the path wrong. To check if PHP is installed correctly, type: php -v
We have a funny one to end on — a way to play an amusing trick on your Facebook buddies.
This clever link “http://facebook.com/profile.php?=73322363″ looks like it could be a URL for anyone’s Facebook profile, actually takes anyone logged into Facebook to their own profile page.
If you try it out, be sure to remove the link preview that Facebook auto-ads. Have fun, and don’t be too mean…
Have you ever wondered how many times you have updated your status on Facebook? The Facebook app Status Statistics, can tell you this and more.
The app analyzes your updates and gives you a tidy list of how many you’ve written, the average word count and how many times a day you post. In addition, it generates a graph that shows you what time of day or what days of the week you normally update.
Old statuses are also searchable via the app, so you can find that witty retort you made back in November 2009 without having to scroll back through your history.
If you want to get a glimpse of the thoughts of Facebook users from around the world’s, head over to OpenBook.
Created by three San Fran web developers with a serious privacy message in mind, the site aggregates the status updates of everyone whose privacy levels are set to “everyone.”
You can narrow your searchable results down by gender and keywords to find out what people are saying about a certain topic. Or you can just browse the recent searches.
While you can always change your setting into more sensible alternative languages, the site offers a couple of fun linguistic Easter eggs.
You can chose to have Facebook display upside down English, or, for anyone feeling a little salty, in “pirate.” Pirate essentially turns your status into your “plank,” your attachments into “loot” and instead of “share” it offers the option to “blabber t’ yer mates.”
Sadly, anything you type in the status bar won’t be upside down, or pirate-y. But with the use of some external sites you can achieve the same effect.
TypeUpsideDown.com and UpsideDownText.com are just two examples of sites that can flip your text, while the Talk Like a Pirate Day site can help you with your pirate translations.
There’s a really fun way to visualize anyone’s status updates (even an entire country’s) as a word cloud. The Status Analyzer 3D app will look at what it is you’ve been chatting about lately and generate a list, and then a pretty, colorful, animated cloud as pictured above.
You can share the results with others on the social networking site by posting it to your friends’ walls or by adding it to your profile.
Although there are plenty of emoticons that work with Facebook Chat, typing “:)” into Facebook’s status bar will not magically transform into a smiley yellow face. In fact, the only symbol you can create in a Facebook status update through the shortcut keys is a ♥, by typing “<3."
While this won't bother many Facebook users, others more used to punctuating their missives can copy and paste web-happy, universal symbols into the box, as you can see in the screengrab above.
PC users can also access some symbols by hitting “alt” + various number combinations (on a numerical keypad). So, while smileys are yet to hit Facebook statuses, you can annoy or amuse your buddies with symbols right now.
This was quite a big deal when it was announced this past September, but from the amount of searches on the topic “how can I make someone’s name go blue in a Facebook status?” it seems it’s not universally known.
To mention someone in a status update just type “@” (a la Twitter) in the status bar and start typing their name as it appears on Facebook. An auto-generated list will then come up with people in your social circle whose name starts with the letters you’ve typed. The feature also works with pages, brands, events and companies.
Hit the name you want, complete the update, click share and the name will become a hyperlink (you won’t see the @ symbol) and will appear in blue text.
While SocialOomph, Sendible and HootSuite offer the same kind of service, the simplest way to schedule Facebook status updates is by using the easy, free Later Bro service.
Just sign in with Facebook Connect, select your time zone, type in what it is you’d like to say, set the calendar and clock to when you’d like to say it, and presto!
Using Facebook’s general privacy settings (find these by hitting “account” on the top right of a Facebook page) you can select whether everyone, just friends or friends of friends can see your status updates. However, there is a way to narrow those options down even further.
You can select specific friend lists to see your status (relevant for work, special interest groups, etc.) or even individual people by name, which is useful for anyone organizing a surprise party.
To take advantage of these options, click the padlock icon just below your “what’s on your mind” box on your wall and a drop down menu should appear. Selecting “customize” will bring up more options such as “make this visible to” and “hide from” with the option to make your selection a default.
“Like” buttons are everywhere on Facebook, and they’re everywhere on the web. But what if you want to update your status or share something that your friends can “dislike?” We know, your friends can choose to “comment” on your post, but where’s the fun in that?
The clever Status Magic Facebook app can add a dislike button to any status updates posted via the app. And if you wanted to really mix it up you can actually customize the second emotion to anything, such as “love,” “hate,” “disagree” or even “LOLs.”

The app offers excellent features. Aside from fast and efficient videoconferencing engine, this app also provides several options for users. For instance, if you want to chat with everyone also using the application, using the public tab is the way to go. On the other hand, if you prefer to chat with those in your friends list, using the tab for that option is what you need to do. This will provide you with the complete list of your friends list and show who among them is online. You will easily notice this feature since those offline will be darker than those online. But if you prefer a one-on-one chat with someone you know - or even someone you've just met online - the app also features a private tab for an intimate video chat for two.
