The very first thing I should mention is thatwhen it
comes to Facebook,there’s really no such thing as
“hack codes.” The title of this article is partially tongue-
in-cheek,because with Facebook,the rules change so
often that one “Facebook hack” code that works today
will likely not work tomorrow. Facebook designers
change links and features at whim – and you’re left
trying to guess what’s coming nextand why your link or
plug-in no longer works.
I’ve previouslywritten a couple of articles here about
Facebook,such as the controversial method on how to
view private Facebook profiles,or how to email mobile
photos to your Facebook account. However, in addition to those tips,there are other codes and features that
aren’timmediatelyobvious to mostusers – so I wanted to provide a listof the top 6 of my favorite Facebook
“hack” codes and tips to other Facebook enthusiasts outthere.
#1 – The Konami Code Lens Flare Hack
This is a rather sillyhack, but if you’re visiting friends who maynot be very computer savvy – this is a very easy
way to impress them with your hacking skills.Borrow their computer (or bring your laptop), log into your
Facebook account, and then on the computer keyboard justtype the following key sequence ofarrows and letters
exactly: UP-UP-DOWN-DOWN-LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT-RIGHT-B-A-<Enter>
Then, click around on your Facebook page,or scroll up and down the page (this seems to work best),and you’ll
discover a pretty cool displayof lens flare effects.

Oddly, the effect isn’thorriblyannoying because itdisappears pretty quickly when you really need it to. It isn’tthe
mostimpressive hack though,because it’s probablythe mostcommon one mentioned across the net – but it’s
still kind of cool and fun to play around with.
#2 – Aye, Make Yer Profile a Pirate’s Page You Landlubber!
The second profile hack is also one of the easiestto implement.Facebook offers users the abilityto transform
their Facebook pages into any language thatthey like. If you scroll down to the lower left corner of your profile
page,you’ll see your current language setting.Click on this,and you’ll have a listof all languages available to
you. Notice the English Pirate option?
3. Ahoy matey – yer now a Cap’n!Now as you go through your profile page you’ll notice some pretty hilarious pirate
variations.
4. Now, the wall is the Plank,your profile is the Cap’n's Log,and you can now either click a postas pleasin’ to me
eye (like) or blabber t’yer mates (comment). It certainly removes the “boring” factor from your old standard
Facebook pages.
#3 – Upside Down Status Updates
If you’ve been on Facebook long enough,you’ve probablynoticed a few people posting upside down status
updates.They sure do think they’re clever don’t they?! Yes, you too can be the envy of all of your friends and
family by posting your updates so that people have to look silly by tilting their heads upside down so theycan
read it.
Most of the people you’ve seen doing this have likely installed a Facebook app justto do so.However, I dislike
installing apps because you always have to provide permissions to those applications to access your profile. A
better approach is to use the free online application at FlipText to generate your upside down status update.
Simplycopy the upside down text from the lower text box, paste it into your Facebook status box and post!
#4 – Download Complete Photo Collections 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 fam ily 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 justthat.
The add-on is awesome,and I would recommend thatanyone with the resources to do so should send in a
contribution to Arthur Sabintsevfor his efforts.
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.
5. Once you do, FacePad downloads every single image within thatalbum into the download folder you’ve
configured in FireFox. Don’t forget to organize all of those photos using JetPhoto,as recommended earlier by
Jeffry.
#5 – Schedule Facebook Status Updates With Sendible
Do you like to keep your Facebook profile active, but you’re coming down with a cold and may be offline for a few
days? Maybe you’re taking a trip and won’tbe anywhere near a computer for a week. Or maybe you’ll be playing
hooky from work and traveling, but you wantyour colleagues and boss to think you’re stuck at home sick.
Accomplish anyof these wishes by using Sendible to schedule your Facebook status updates.This is an
application Daniel covered earlier,so check out his article for more details.
But for Facebook specifically,once you sign up with Sendible,justclick on Facebook and provide your Facebook
login details. Sendible connects directlywith your Facebook account. The, under “New Messages” click on
“Status Updates“.
6. On the next page you can schedule outas manyupdates as you’d like! This service is awesome – and you can
distribute scheduled updates to a number ofsocial networks including MySpace, Blogger,Twitter and more.
#6 – Hide Your Online Status From Certain People
Look, don’tfeel bad about it. When I firstjoined Facebook I left my online status wide open.After a couple of
weeks of getting inundated with nonstop chatrequests,Isimplyturned off my online status completely.Problem
solved.Except, there really were certain people I wouldn’tmind hearing from – 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 listcalled “BlockList.” Make sure after you create it that it’s configured under “Display
these lists in Chat.”
7. Now, all you have to do is either click “edit” and add the friends you wantto 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.
Facebook,unlike MySpace, is not really easy to tweak – which is actually a good thing.Gone are the days of
those horrid eye-bleeding pages with pink flashing backgrounds and instantmusic thatyou can’tturn off.
However, the tweaks and plug-ins in the listabove offer at leasta few ways to customize your Facebook account
and usage to suityour life and your personality.
How do you use Facebook? Are there any hacks or add-ons notoffered here that you especiallylike to use?
