Most of us use Facebook to interact with some of our long separated friends but that does not mean we cannot have fun on Facebook. Here is a collection of tricks, tips and easter eggs you can use to enjoy your experience on Facebook.
Similarly, you can also turn Facebook upside down by selecting English(Upside Down) from the Languages dropdown. This will flip the entire Facebook interface but your status updates would still be "normal".
Facebook Easter Eggs: Pirate Language ,Turn Facebook Upside Down
Facebook is not as famous for its easter eggs as Microsoft but that does not mean that Facebook's easter eggs are not entertaining. The one which I especially find interesting is the Pirate Language trick. To enable Pirate Language in Facebook, login to Facebook, click on Account Tab, click on Account Settings, click on Language, and in the Primary Language dropdown menu, somewhere near the bottom, you would find English(Pirate). Select it and be the captain of your Pirate Ship. |

Chat on Facebook in your Firefox sidebar while browsing other Websites
To do this, you need to bookmark http://facebook.com/login.php. Then click on Show all Bookmarks (Manage Bookmarks in older versions) in the Bookmarks menu, then locate the newly created bookmark, single click on it, then click on more in the footer, then check Load this bookmark in Sidebar. Now, you can open that bookmark in Firefox's sidebar and keep on browsing other websites too.Show Facebook Status Updates only to Specific People or Hide them from someone
Facebook gives you the option to show your status updates to everyone or only your friends. You can further optimize Facebook so that your status updates are shown only to people you wish. Go to Customise Settings from My Account> Privacy Settings>Custom. Then, customize the Posts by Me section by choosing Make this Visible to Specific People and adding their names. You can hide your statuses from specific people by adding their name in the Hide from These section.Tag people in Status Updates, Wall Posts, Comments or Text
To tag someone in text in a manner that a link is created to the person's profile, use the @ symbol. eg. If you wish to tag John Jamison in your comment write @ John Jamison without any spelling mistake. If the person is in your friend list, a link in blue will be automatically created to the person's profile and he would be "tagged". |

Write Upside Down, In Bubbles or Inverted Mirror-like text on Facebook
You might have seen many people update their Facebook status saying that "this was the last time they bought a keyboard on eBay" or "they have finally learnt how to update Facebook statuses while doing a headstand" written upside down. Here is how you too can flip text like that and add much more cool effects. Just go to Upside Down Text, uncheck Backwards effect, enter your text and copy the inverted one from the inverted text column and paste it in your status update or chats. You can also write inverted mirror like text by un-checking the upside down effect. To write in bubbles, click on the Bubble Ball text in the top Navigation bar.
e.g. Mirror Effect:- !rorrim a ni deppart ma I !oN hO
e.g. Upside Down Effect:- pɐɯu ʞǝʎqoɐɹp¡
e.g Both Mirror and Upside Down Effect:- ¡poפ ǝɯ dlǝH ˙ʎzɐɹɔ ƃuıʇʇǝƃ sı uıɐɹq ʎW
