Facebook Hacks, Plugins, Features

Posted in Life at Cornell by Cornell's Most Infamous on August 25th, 2006.

If you haven’t been on top of the Facebook scene, you’ll have missed some interesting developments, including a developer’s API and a special advertising deal with Microsoft. You’ll be missing out on a new Facebook feature, Facebook badges, the Firefox Facebook Stalker extension, and greasemonkey scripts to hack their pages themselves!

Facebook Badges & Banners

Elliott C. Bäck's Facebook profile

Login to the Facebook Badges page and you can customize either a horizontal (pictured above) or vertical banner for your website or blog. Facebook will give you either a raw image to post just about anywhere, or for the most fancy, some javascript. You can include any of the following fields in your badge: Name, Networks, Email, Screen names, Birthday, Cell number, Websites, Status updates, Recent pictures, Upcoming events, and Latest notes!

Facebook Stalker Firefox Extension

Download this Firefox extension, ignore the unsigned warnings, and prepare to have your web browser remember all your friends’ profiles and markup the changes the next time they update them. It’s very useful to see what your friends think is new and changing!

Facebook Greasemonkey Scripts

The User Scripts Facebook Library includes the following:

  • Facebook Age Checker
  • Facebook aim status icon
  • Facebook Auto-Colorizer
  • Facebook Autologin
  • Facebook Autopoke

There are also a number of hacks to change the Facebook theme, and do other irritating things.

    in response to rahahagurly, this is the exact reason facebook is superior to myspace, dumbasses can’t customize it making it loud and/or impossible to read…. yet….those applications are kind of a *****..

  10. @joe

    Completely agree. No one uses myspace any more. Facebook seriously has 5 or 6 times the traffic. Everyone is annoyed by the music that comes on immediately every time you log onto someone’s myspace and then their font is eight times too big.
