Facebook Hack: Auto-Select Everyone On Your Friends List When Sending Invites

2010 July 13

Did you ever want to send an invite to people in your friends list about an upcoming event but didn’t want to spend the time individually clicking on everyone’s name? Or you started a new group or fan page and want your friends to know about it, but you have 3,000 friends in your list and it would take you all day to invite everyone individually? Here’s a small javascript hack that will allow you to select everyone in your friends list within a second.

Go to your event/group/fan page and click “Invite People.” When the box pops up asking you to select which friend to send the invite to, go to your web browser’s address bar, paste the following code, and hit enter:

javascript:fs.select_all();

Voila! All your friends should be selected!

    Any message you send to fans from your Facebook page will automatically go into the “Other” folder under their Messages. There’s no way to get it into their inbox, as of yet.
