Narrow Your Friend SelectionFaceBook Help

Narrow Your Friend SelectionIf you have found this annoying statement from facebook while selecting all friends for an event invite. Fear not! What you will need to do is whittle down your number of invites to under a 1000 per invite window. You can do this easily once you group your friends into lists (not so easy). However, it is manageable and you can check out a video I made on how to do this..Facebook lists.

Once you have everybody group into logical lists, then inviting them to events becomes an easy task. Make sure you check out the Chrome Extension, Invite all friends to facebook event that I built that allows you to select all friends in an invite or recommend page window with one click. Gone for now are the days of clicking till your blue in the face…..

Facebook Search FriendsTips to reconnect with friends.

If you joined facebook to connect with people you have lost touch with, here are a few good examples of ways to connect.

  • Search for them by their nameThe most effective way if you know the name chances are good you will find them or if their name is very common look for schools and workplaces.
  • List your high school and college alma maters. That way you can find people you might have forgotten about, likewise they can find you as well.
  • When you don’t know your former contact’s e-mail address or if his or her name is so common that you can’t find him or her in the search, you can search based on school or workplace.

List as much information as your comfortable giving out, you never know someone might be looking for you as well.

So we want to show you how to block Facebook and avoid problems connected with it.

The hosts file method and blocking Facebook on Internet Explorer are free but imperfect.

How to block Facebook using the Hosts file

The location of the hosts file depends on your operation system.
Windows XP, Vista et Windows 7 C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Windows 2000 C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Note!

Make a backup of the hosts file and put it somewhere safe, in case you mess up.

1. Open the hosts file using Notepad or other plain text editor. Windows 7 Users must run notepad as an administrator, Otherwise you will not be able to overwrite the hosts file.
2. Click start > type Notepad into search box > right click on notepad search result > select run as administrator.
Next select Open from the file menu > Navigate to the hosts file location > open the file > Paste the following lines at the end of the hosts file

# block facebook

How to block Facebook using your router:

This is probably the most secure way that you can block access to Facebook. Most routers have tables that will allow us to block specific websites. Many routers also have options to allow access to certain times of the day and by security group or even user level access control. The only problem here is that there are way to many routers on the market to allow me to build a step by step guide. Consult your router documentation or contact me to discuss a remote configuration option.
