Facebook is probably the most addicting social networking out there. You add one of your friend from high school and the next thing you know is all your high school friends, their families would end up in your facebook friends list. It is a good thing and a bad thing. Bad if you are not that of a people person.

Well here are some cool tricks that you can use for your Facebook status updates.

Like Or Dislike

Facebook is known for its "Like" button.. How about add a "Dislike" button? Well, here is an app for that. The clever Status Magic Facebook app can add a dislike button to any status updates posted via the app. you can actually customize the second emotion to anything, such as “love,” “hate,” “disagree” or even “LOLs.”

Secrete Status Updates

Do you want to update your status secretly? Well, through facebook's privacy settings you can hide status updates from everyone and show it to only friends but if you want to have a better control, create "Friends List". Once you have friend's lists, you can then choose which list you want to show/hide your status updates.

Scheduled Status Updates

The simplest way to schedule Facebook status updates is by using the easy, free Later Bro service.Just sign in with Facebook Connect, select your time zone, type in what it is you’d like to say, set the calendar and clock to when you’d like to say it.

Tag Your Friends

To mention someone in a status update just type “@” in the status bar and start typing their name as it appears on Facebook. An auto-generated list will then come up with people in your social circle whose name starts with the letters you’ve typed. Hit the name you want, complete the update, click share and the name will become a hyperlink.

Upside Down

TypeUpsideDown.com and UpsideDownText.com are just two examples of sites that can flip your text. Just visit the site, enter your status update and then copy the "Upside Down" status messages into your facebook status update. See your friends turning their heads upside down.

Worst Profile Ever

This clever link “http://facebook.com/profile.php?=73322363″ looks like it could be a URL for anyone’s Facebook profile, actually takes anyone logged into Facebook to their own profile page.

Thanks for linking to our website (http://www.upsidedowntext.com/)! We're constantly improving our site, and we recently added an option to post upside down text direct to Facebook. Since this post is about "Facebook" tricks we though it might be relevant to your visitors. When you enter text on our site, the upside down equivalent is displayed. Of course, as your post describes, you could copy and paste this text into your Facebook status. But with the new direct post option, you can just click the Facebook icon right above the upside down text on our website, and the upside down text will be sent directly to your Facebook status. This way there is no need to copy + paste. This is an option that the other website you listed for flipping text does not have.
