Enable Old Classic Chat on Facebook for Firefox, Chrome and Opera

It took me a while to recognize that I am not the only one who hated the new chat in the Facebook. While the old default chat was easy and comfortable, this new one never worked for me. However it did fine for some of my buddies but not for everyone.

For me, the new chat feature in Facebook never showed the available buddies and neither did it for me. This means while I was using this new chat, I was never online and it also didn’t show my online buddies. It was a long time since I could chat on FB and also there was no way of going back to the old classic chat of Facebook.

Well if you use any of the following browsers (Firefox, Chrome or Opera), then you can enable the old classic chat of Facebook and start using it without any hassles. What you need to do is just download and install an add-on/extension for these browsers that can disable this new chat and enable the old chat of Facebook.

The extension is called “Facebook Chat Sidebar Disabler” and is available for free to download on any of these browsers. Going back to the old chat will not affect any of your chat functionality as you can still chat, make a video call the same way as in the new chat.

Moreover the extension is safe to use (I have also started using the same), doesn’t auto like some page and doesn’t need any restart of the browser. So simple isn’t it? Give it a try.

Access Facebook in Office with Facebook Excel

Access Facebook in Office with Facebook Excel

Be it at office, school or college Facebook is blocked in many organizations and there is not much that we can do to access it. While organizations block these social networking websites so that their employees do not engage in these activities and waste time but blocking the websites should be up to some extent as it can help them to reduce pressure and gain more productivity.

With the launch of Facebook Excel also called as Excelbook you can access your Facebook account while at office stealthily and fool your boss around. The application is exactly similar to the MS Excel and it seems that you are working on the Excel spreadsheet but in reality you would be checking your news feeds and other things of FB.

You just need to visit a web service called Hardlywork, provide your FB login credentials and allow the app to access your profile. The Facebook excel will present instantly before you where you can check all your activities.

Moreover, the Excel is dynamic in nature as you can search friends, look at pictures and videos, tag friends in pictures and check your news feed. Hovering the mouse over certain items in the sheet also shows you profile picture.

Isn’t it a great way to both access your profile at office and fool your boss.

Facebook Login Notifications: Additional Security Feature

Facebook Login Notifications: Additional Security Feature

I have come across many people who have lost their Facebook profile as someone has hacked their profiles. Although this is not easy but if you use some additional security features then it won’t be that simple as well.

Facebook had provided us with couple of security features using which we can ensure the authorized access only. One of such features was thehttps about which we had already written. Another security feature is called the Facebook Login Notifications, navigate to Accounts –>Account Settings –> Account Security to use this feature.

The Facebook Login Notifications feature ensures that only the person who is authorized can login to our facebook profile. This feature require us to enter a text code that is being sent to us on our cell phone or at the email, when someone try to login from an unrecognized computer. You can get your computer recognized so that it works in a better way.

The feature requires that you have already updated your phone number and the email ID failing which this service wouldn’t be of much help. The other side of the feature is that if you are logging from some other system then you got to have your mobile phone with you. So we advise you to use this feature only if you are suspecting any of your friends to hack your account.
