6 Great Tips To Customise A Catchy Facebook ProfileI started joining Facebook account only 2 months back and now I have 325 friends in my friends network. Well I do not consider myself popular among friends but I do have a “secret recipe” in customising my Facebook profile to get attention from people. Well indeed you can say I am a great attention seeker.

As you know, people love to browse Facebook profiles of their friends and friends’ friends. So if you follow my 6 great tips to customise your Facebook profile, it is not difficult to make your friends and friends’ friends to seek you like honey. You wouldn’t lead a life with an empty Facebook Inbox anymore.

Tip (1): Add Colors & Wallpapers To Your Facebook Profile

Recently I wrote an article on “Customise Facebook Profile And Adding Personality To Them“. Go ahead and add an interesting and colorful wallpaper to your Facebook profile so that it wouldn’t look too bored anymore.

Tip (2): Be Interesting, Add In All Your Interests and Activities

What’s the difference between your Facebook profile and others? Definitely your friends would love to see not just an ordinary profile. For me, I would add in all my interests and activities I love, into my Facebook profile. As interests are tagged in Facebook, your friends can easily discover what you enjoy doing. Also, they would tend to spend more time studying your profile too. Once a while, you may receive group invitations requesting you to join certain interest group as well.

Tip (3): Be Happening, Use Groups & Events

I am a part-time event organiser and I have my own event group and I use Facebook Events to organise my outings and parties. All these are displayed in your Facebook profile and that’s where your friends find you a “happening” person. If you are not like me, well, similarly, you can think of an interesting topic or interest so that you can have your own group as well. I will elaborate more on Facebook Group & Events in my next article.

Tip (4): “Flood” Your Wall With Wall Posts

Most people neglected the power of Wall Post in your Facebook profile. If you think you can’t do much with it, you are wrong. For me, I usually get a lot of attentions by posting nuisance, gossiping or attention-seeking posts eg. “I don’t believe in Love anymore, I think I would only be a single for the rest of my life!”. Such posts easily attract a lot of postings in your Wall. However, do not overdo it by posting sentences like “Girls are the most pampered animals in the Universe” as it could easily annoy your lady friends or others. Facebook profiles with more wall posts are generally more catchy than others.

Tip (5): Photos, Photos and More Photos.

Many people love to display only 1 or 2 personal photos or cartoons in their Facebook profile. This will not make your profile look interesting and catchy at all. What people love to see are your outing and activities’ shots, the most craziest photos while you are partying with your friends, photos of the best scenary you appreciate or the most unique places of interests if you happen to go on holidays.

Tip (6) Put Up The Best Photo For Your Facebook Profile

Imagine your photo album as your personal portfolio when you go for some form of auditions or even job interviews. Get a best SHOT for yourself (eg. a studio shot) and add into your Facebook profile proudly. It would definitely leave a good impression to others.

Above are 6 great tips I have shared with you today. It is DEFINITELY not a difficult task to customise a successful and catchy Facebook profile for yourself. Let your friends enjoy reading your profile today. Learn some interesting tips to update your Facebook status too.

3 Interesting Tips To Update Your Facebook Status

June 18th, 2008 1 Comment   Posted in Uncategorized

When is the last time you update your Facebook status? Last week? Last month? Or last year? For me, I will make it a point to do it everyday. You may wonder what’s there to update if your life is repeating the same everyday. Well I am sure your friends would be more interested to know “how” you are doing rather than “what” you are doing. A short and simple Facebook status like “George is leading a peaceful life and resting at home right now” would mean a lot to them.

Well, if you find you are repeating the same thing on your Facebook status everyday, why not consider writing more interesting quotes like “George is laughing at you while you are reading this message” or “George thinks Facebook status update is a damn stupid idea but for the sake of his friends, he don’t mind to do it every day”. How do you think of these? Below are 3 interesting tips of updating your Facebook status.

(1) Use Facebook Status Generator To Generate Ideas

If you are running out of ideas, why not try Facebook Status Generator by James Small? It basically cobbles together some meaningless random gibberish and allow you to copy and paste into your Facebook status. It’s not like you have anything better to do. But after using this service, I have more friends asking me about my status.

(2) Link Your Twitter To Your Facebook Status

How about linking your Twitter to your Facebook instead? All you need to do is to update your Twitter status and it will be automatically updated in Facebook. Hence, Twitter will become the only place you need to do all the job. This can be achieved with a Twitter application in Facebook (Note: This is not an application developed by Facebook itself). With this convenience, do you think you will stop updating your Facebook status?

(3) Updating Your Facebook Status Through Mobile Phone

Lastly, how about updating your Facebook status through your mobile phone ? You can achieve this without the need to login into Facebook. This is another good feature which allows you to do it anywhere anytime you like when you are outdoor eg. “OMG! I saw a monkey crossing over the road” which you are unlikely to see while you are indoor. All you need to do is to follow the following steps.

1. Compose a text message using your mobile phone. Make sure your text message starts with an “@”. Example if I wish to update my Facebook Status to “George is sleeping now”, my text message will look like this “@ sleeping now”.

2. Send a text message to FBOOK (32665).

Also, you can also tell if someone updated his Facebook status from their mobile phone if you spot a small mobile phone icon next to their Facebook status.

Apart from updating your Facebook status regularly, you may also consider customising your Facebook profile with a simple Facebook application which is discussed in my previous post.

Unblock Facebook With Facebook Proxy

June 16th, 2008 2 Comments   Posted in Uncategorized

It can be really frustrating at times when you try to access Facebook in schools, colleage or company yet discover that you have been blocked by their firewall. Due to the vast expansion and use of Facebook by it’s users everyday, web developers find the need to unblock Facebook with Facebook Proxy.

If you do a google search for “Facebook Proxy”, you should be able to discover a lot of Facebook Proxies sites currently available out there. To protect your identity and allow you to access Facebook without being detected, a good reliable Facebook Proxy allows you to browse Facebook anonymously. To look for one, you need to take note of following points.

(1) It should be FREE. No credit card or confidential information should be required to use their service.

(2) It should not have annoying pop up advertisements.

(3) It should be secure and safe to protect your Facebook login information.

(4) It must be fast and should not take years for a page to load.

(5) It should be private and anonymous.

How to check if you are accessing Facebook anonymously:

Step 1: Go to http://www.findproxy.org/ and copy down your IP address and Host Name.

Step 2: Visit your Facebook Proxy and enter http://www.findproxy.org/ into the address bar.

Step 3: From your Facebook Proxy window, check the exposed IP against your IP address copied from Step (1), they should be different. On top of this, the Hostname should not be revealed.

Of course there could be other methods, however, this is one that I normally use.

To protect yourself further, please also remember not to make payment in Facebook Proxy window. Your payment details could be captured or keylogged by them illegally.

Before you try out anything, you need to have a very good understanding on how Facebook Proxy works. You may read more information in Wikipedia. (Read about “Circumventor” and “At school or office”)

You may have a lot of questions to ask after reading this article, so please leave me a comment below so that I will answer accordingly. Thanks.
