Find Out Which “Friends” Are Dropping You On Facebook

So for today I bring you another in my greasemonkey script addicition that allows you to monitor which of your "friends" on Facebook are dropping you off their follows.

Facebook Friends Checker

When the script detects that someone you used to be friends with is no longer one of your friends, a message will appear informing you about who it was and giving a link to their profile page.

The script checks by default once per hour when on Facebook, but this time can be increased through "Tools > Greasemonkey > User script commands... > Set time interval to check for removed friends...".

How it works is when someone unfollows you on Facebook you will be notified and then the script will then have yourself unfollow them as well.  Then you can go back and follow them again.  They can never get away!!!

[Note] I have not actually seen the script in action since as far as I know no one has unfollowed me yet :)

Use Your Keyboard To Navigate Through Facebook

If you have followed me for sometime you know how much I like finding Greasemonkey scripts that improve a service or add some kool features (or take something away even).  So today I found out about a new script that allows you to use letters on your keyboard to jump to different parts of Facebook.

Facebook Keyboard Navigation

Once you have the script installed you can jump to your photos, events, account, notes, ect ect with the push of a button.  Here is a list of the 16 per setup options.

A – Edit application settings
B – Go to list of birthdays
C – Go to photos
D – Find friends
E – Go to your list of events
F – View the list of all your friends
G – Go to groups
H – Go to your home page
I – Go to the message Inbox
L – Go to your links page
M – Send a message
N – Go to your notes
P – Go to your profile page
S – Edit your account settings
T – Go to Notifications page
V – Edit your privacy settings

And if you want to add others it is pretty easy to configure the scipt to your needs.   ReadRightWeb had a post on this same script and showed how easy it was to add your own options.

So there you have it another script to help you through this Facebook world...no its nothing earth shattering but for us geeks its a fun little tweak to play around with and hey maybe you are new to all this Greasemonkey stuff and have some questions?  Feel free to hit me up sometime and I can help you get started with it all.

Gonna Take A Stab At NaBloPoMo

So I was doing my nightly scan of  feeds and tweets when I saw this thing called #NaBloPoMo which stands for National Blog Posting Month.  The premise is pretty easy basically you blog every day of the month (which is something I don't think I have ever done).

The whole thing started off as a goof based on National Novel Writing Month, the challenge of which is to try to write an entire novel during the month November. Not everyone can commit to an endeavor of such magnitude, though, and so National Blog Posting Month was born. However, after doing a November NaBlo for a couple of years in a row it seemed that a lot of people had found their momentum and wanted to keep going into December and beyond. So now NaBloPoMo is something you can drop into any month of the year, though November is still the biggest month, and is the only month when members donate prizes that are then given out randomly to other members who posted every day in November.

Should be fun to attempt and a good challenge.  Are you interested in giving it a run with your blog like me?  Be sure to check out the NaBloPoMo site and follow the hashtag #NaBloPoMo as well.

Good luck to everyone who is gonna give it a run and have fun with it!
