Are you tired of micro-managing your likes?  We all know that a well-placed like on Facebook can be hilarious. But clicking like over and over is so difficult! Now you can just like everything with one easy click…

This is a GreaseMonkey script for clicking like on all stories on a page.  It works on any Facebook page.

If you don’t have GreaseMonkey installed, you can find instructions from my blog on the Twitter Follow All script.

Once you have it installed, you can install my Macro-Like script by clicking install!

Now go get liking!

Facebook Mass Friend Selector Greasemonkey Script http://thekevindolan.com/2009/08/facebook-mass/ http://thekevindolan.com/2009/08/facebook-mass/#comments Sat, 01 Aug 2009 23:38:15 +0000 Kevin http://thekevindolan.com/?p=341 spam

You probably remember my first experimentation with Greasemonkey, my Follow All on Page Script for Twitter. Well  I decided to approach another common problem with Greasemonkey… introducing my script to automatically select 200 of your friends at a time in Facebook.

Whenever we throw parties in Ithaca, it ends up being somebody’s (usually my) job to mass invite all of their friends on Facebook.  Because there is no select all button, this means manually clicking each and every name, which can get quite boring.

Also, you can only invite 200 people at a time!

What this script does is add a feature to allow you to select 200 friends at a time, automatically.  You can use it on any Facebook page with a friend selector for activities like sending messages, or whatever.  It’s incredibly useful.

I have to say, I am a huge fan of Greasemonkey.  I’m not going to show you how to install it again; for instructions, look at the Twitter script, or UserScripts.org.

Again, same agreement as last time, I will not support this script, but you are welcome to use it.  It works for me.

Instructions:

Make sure you have Greasemonkey installed.

Install my Facebook Mass Friend Selector Script.

Now whenever you are on Facebook, the MFS window will appear in the top left, as seen below:

step1

Whenever you find yourself on a page with a Friend Selector box, click the MFS window and voila! it will expand, as shown:

step2

You then have the option of clicking one of the numbered groups.  Clicking group #2 for instance, is identical to clicking friends 200-399, in a matter of a few seconds!  It will even toggle, so if you accidentally click Group #1 when you wanted Group #3, you can click Group #1 again to unselect the group!

Again, your welcome.

Twitter Follow All On Page Greasemonkey Script http://thekevindolan.com/2009/07/follow-all-on-page/ http://thekevindolan.com/2009/07/follow-all-on-page/#comments Wed, 29 Jul 2009 20:58:24 +0000 Kevin http://thekevindolan.com/?p=314 twitter_bird_follow_me

Once again, I’d just like to begin by saying you’re welcome.  I’ve recently been experiencing this odd phenomenon– a sudden burst of productivity beginning around 4:00 AM and ending around 6:30.  So last night, I put together this Greasemonkey Script to follow all unfollowed users on a twitter page.

About this Script

If you don’t already know, Greasemonkey is an addon to Firefox that allows you to run little pieces of code called user scripts inside other websites to customize your experience.  You can find thousands of such user scripts at UserScripts.org.

This is the first Greasemonkey script I’ve written, though I’m quite familiar with JavaScript, so there was no learning curve whatsoever.  The reason I wrote the script was gaining a marketable position on Twitter requires connections, and at a fundamental level, those connections involve getting followers.

One of the best way to gain followers is to follow people somehow already connected to you.  There is a higher chance that these users will follow you back.  Compared to the paid services out there that add thousands of random followers, manually following quality users is still the best way, but it’s tedious.

This script is a middle-ground in the world of auto-twittermation?  Simply install the script, and then everytime you visit someones following/followers list, a box will pop up asking if you want to add all users on the page.  Click it, and your will shall be done.

Quick Instructions for the Impatient

If you know what you’re doing, and you already have Greasemonkey installed, here’s the userscript.

Detailed Instructions for the Incompitent

If you don’t already have Firefox, you’re an idiot.  Download and install.

step1

Once installed, add the Greasemonkey plugin.

step2

Come back here, and click on the userscript link.

When the Greasemonkey box pops up, use all the default settings.

step4

The script is now ready to use.  Go to twitter and visit someone’s following/follower list.

step5

When on a page, if there’s anyone to follow, a bar will pop out along the bottom, allowing you to do so.

step6

My Warning

I wrote this script in about 2.5 hours. It works with twitter the way it is now, but if they ever change, it’s likely it will not.  I mostly wrote it to help myself out, but if you want to use it, that’s cool.  I don’t plan on supporting it all.  Feel free to email me and tell me you like it, but I won’t answer any questions about it.  I made the directions as easy as possible, so at this point, there is nothing I can do to help you.
