HOW TO: Add a Dislike Option to Your Status Update : 1. HOW TO: Add a Dislike Option to Your Status Update “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? Slide 4: 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.” 2. HOW TO: Hide Status Updates From Certain People : 2. HOW TO: Hide Status Updates From Certain People For status updates settings, click the padlock icon just below your “what’s on your mind” box on your wall and a drop down menu will appear. Now you can select whether everyone, just friends or friends of friends can see your status updates. You can select specific friend lists to see your status or even individual people by name. What’s on your mind ? Slide 6: 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. 3. HOW TO: Pre-Schedule Status Updates : 3. HOW TO: Pre-Schedule Status Updates 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! 4. HOW TO: Tag People in Your Status Updates : 4. HOW TO: Tag People in Your Status Updates 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. 5. HOW TO: Add Symbols to Your Facebook Status : 5. HOW TO: Add Symbols to Your Facebook Status Typing “:)” into Facebook’s status bar will not 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, people used to punctuating their missives can copy and paste web-happy, universal symbols into the box, like in above picture. So, while smileys are yet to hit Facebook statuses, you can annoy or amuse your buddies with symbols right now. 6. HOW TO: Turn Your Status Updates Into a Word Cloud : 6. HOW TO: Turn Your Status Updates Into a Word Cloud 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. 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. 7. HOW TO: Have Fun With Facebook’s Humorous Language Options : 7. HOW TO: Have Fun With Facebook’s Humorous Language Options 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.” Slide 12: 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. 8. HOW TO: See Status Updates From Around the World : 8. HOW TO: See Status Updates From Around the World If you want to get a glimpse of the thoughts of Facebook users from around the world’s, head over to OpenBook.

Or you can just browse the recent searches. 9. HOW TO: See Your Status Update Stats : 9. HOW TO: See Your Status Update Stats 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. 10. HOW TO: Play a Trick On Your Friends in Your Status Update : 10. HOW TO: Play a Trick On Your Friends in Your Status Update To play an amusing trick on your Facebook buddies.
