Friends Secretly Delete You As a Contact

How to Know When Facebook Friends Secretly Delete You As a Contact

“A and B are now friends on Facebook” – That’s the message displayed in your Facebook profile each time you add a new friend on Facebook or someone else confirms your pending request.

But the reverse is not always true – you will never know when existing friends remove you from their Facebook friends list. The count of your friends will decrease but Facebook won’t reveal the name of the person who just unfriended you.

You can however play detective using some applications. These ‘app’s will let you know when friends quietly remove as a connection on Facebook.

Unfriend Directory

Unfriend Monitor

Unfriender

Note: The only downside is that these may works only with friends that you have added after installing the Facebook application.

Disclaimer: Some ‘app’s may be vulnerable.

Export Email Addresses of all your Facebook Friends

Export Email Addresses of all your Facebook Friends into Harddisk

The most important principle for Facebook is that every person owns and controls her information. Each person owns her friends list, but not her friends’ information. A person has no more right to mass export all of her friends’ private email addresses than she does to mass export all of her friends’ private photo albums. – Facebook

There’s however a simple (and perfectly legal) workaround that can help you easily download all your friends email addresses from Facebook’s walled site.

1. Create a Yahoo email account. Even if you have an old one, create a new one so that the imported contacts are clean. You’ll get a confirmation screen that looks like this, below. Click on import contacts “Get Started” link and then choose Facebook.

2. Authorize Yahoo in the Facebook pop up and then wait a few seconds. You’ll see a confirmation screen like this:

3. Ok, you’ve now imported the names and email addresses of all your Facebook friends into Yahoo. Now just click “tools” in Yahoo mail and export. CSV format is a good format for uploading to Gmail or your desktop contact book. Save the file to your desktop, and you’re done.

4. Enjoy your new contacts. You’ve just done something that Facebook says you have no right to do, using tools provided by Facebook.

Tips –

Do not use Chrome for this, it doesn’t appear to work in that browser. – Admin (CosmoCyber)

If Yahoo! is unable to import your Facebook Address book, open your Facebook page and choose “Application Settings” under Account. Next remove the “Yahoo! Contact Importer” application from your Facebook profile and try the steps mentioned in the video again. – Admin (CosmoCyber)

Facebook export works only if you have chat enabled. – Admin (CosmoCyber)

Facebook Pages – Warning

Facebook Pages – Warning

There’s a new kind of ‘scam’ on Facebook that won’t do you any harm but it is likely to embarrass you in public. I have lately seen some of my tech-savvy friends on Facebook fall for such scams and you should be careful as well.

Working of Scam: You land on a unsuspecting Facebook page and there’s a pop-up saying that you need to confirm that you are an adult in order to view the underlying content. You click confirm and the dialog disappears.

Actual Working: The problem is that the ‘pop-up’ you just clicked was not actually a pop-up but some sort of a hidden script that executes itself as soon as you hit the ‘Confirm’ button.

The script, in most cases, will automatically post a link on your Facebook wall thus broadcasting to the world that you just tried visiting an ‘adult’ site. This will almost create a viral effect because now your other friends will be eager to see that page and some of them may fall in the trap as well.
