how to block facebook photo tags 1

Day in, day out, I keep getting tagged in all sorts of pictures on Facebook. There's nothing wrong with your friends tagging you in their pictures and I have absolutely nothing against it but what I hate is getting tagged in weird photos. Some pictures are so gross I hate to see them appear on my timeline. Some are just obscene, some awkwardly funny and others are simply gross.

Exceeding Facebook 5000 Friends Limit

how to pass facebook 5000 friends limit

If you happen to be a celebrity, a politician or public figure, you will find yourself reaching facebook's friends limit in no time and when this happens, you can neither send nor receive friends request. Unlike twitter where thousands can follow you and google+ where you can be added to a countless number of circles, the limit facebook places on friendship looks rather ridiculous. But wait a minute, is it really possible to have 5,000 real friends? To be candid, most of these people you call friends are actually fans and it's for this reason the idea of fan pages was brought to life. Facebook pages allow you to connect with millions of people without any limit but taking a critical look … [Read more...]

Creating the Perfect Facebook Timeline Cover (with Exact Size / Dimension)

creating an awesome and unique facebook timeline cover

Facebook rolled out it's timeline profile and some of us complained for a while though there's nothing anyone can do about that. It's funny how those of us who groaned about it are now finding ways to personalize it and make it look exotic. Creating the perfect timeline cover ( the large image at the top of your profile ) can be a problem if you're not so good with graphic designs and need something unique. A lot of people don't even know the right dimension to use which makes the timeline cover look awkward when uploaded as you have to move the picture around to fit the right dimension. The exact dimension is 850px by 315px and you can resize your photos with an image editing software … [Read more...]

how to delete all facebook chat messages

There was a time facebook had a "clear chat history" option but this was removed all of a sudden. Since, all chat conversations piles up in your inbox and you just watch helplessly as you inbox gets filled with useless chat messages. There is no way to block chat messages from storing in your inbox as facebook leaves no option to save or discard chat history. Whether you like it or not, your chat conversations will always be in your inbox. If you feel there's a need to clear all those useless messages and have a clean inbox, it's humanly impossible especially if you're the one that has thousands of messages. I recently wrote a post on deleting all old posts on facebook timeline with … [Read more...]
