Control Your Facebook Privacy in Firefox

Facebook’s privacy controls are notoriously dubious. Most users believe their posts and photos are only visible to their friends, but this simply is not true. And, even those users who have properly aligned their Facebook privacy controls can have their controls reset at any given time, with no notice, by Facebook.
Firefox users can take control of their Facebook privacy by using uProtect.it. This service allows Facebook users to decide exactly which of their friends can see each comment or status update. Not even Facebook’s administrators can see these posts unless a user specifically allows it.

Track When Facebook Friends Dump Their Significant Others

In many ways, Facebook is like being back in high school. We track the latest gossip through our New Feeds. We post pictures of our new cars to make friends jealous. Many even secretly pine for the prom queen, hoping her relationship status will show she’s single soon.

Chat With Facebook Friends in Hotmail or Live Mail

In a few simple steps, start chatting with your Facebook friends right from your Hotmail or Windows Live Mail account. No need to log in to both. Login to check your email and chat with your friends all in one place.
Several email clients, such as Yahoo, have built their messaging system into their email home page. With Hotmail, you get to use Facebook chat or Windows Messenger, or both if you want.
Basically, Hotmail adds your Facebook friends, including status updates, to Messenger without your friends needing to download or use Messenger. The more you can combine into a single application, the better.

Connect to Facebook

The first thing you need to do is connect your Hotmail or Windows Live account to your Facebook account. Log in to your Hotmail account. From the main screen, also known as the Hotmail Highlights screen, you’ll see a Messenger Social section.

Download All of Your Facebook Photos the Easy Way

Sharing photos on Facebook is super easy. We can upload photos from our computers, send photos from our cell phones or take photos directly from a Web cam. However, downloading the photos from Facebook is a tedious process. Every photo must be downloaded individually.
Pick&Zip can download all of your Facebook photos—even photos other people post and “tag” you—in just a few mouse clicks.

Use WYSIWYG to Build Facebook Pages

Facebook discontinued Static FBML, the app previously used to build Facebook Fan Pages, on March 11, 2011. Since then, most companies have chosen to move their Facebook Pages to the new iFrames design method.

The iFrames design method has advantages—anything you can do on a standard Web page with HTML, Flash and Javascript now works on Facebook pages. But, you have to host your pages off-site, on your own Web space, and call them as an iFrame with Facebook Developer. This requires HTML skills.
For those without HTML skills, or who would rather not host pages off-site, Static HTML is the answer.

Find Out when Facebook Friends Delete You

Many people pride themselves on the number of Facebook friends they collect, so when that number decreases without any warning, they obviously want to know why. Facebook does not notify its members when friends delete them, shielding the frienemy in infuriating anonymity.
Who.deleted.me seeks to change the anonymous nature of the Facebook friend delete.

Who.deleted.me tracks your friends list, and sends an email notifying you when any friend is added or removed. To start using the service, click the Login with Facebook button on the left side of the homepage.
