Interesting, I was finally getting a decent following on Twitter, when suddenly I discover that my account has been suspended.

As a result, I would probably suggest NOT using my Twitter Greasemonkey script.  It spells bad news, and spammy consequences.

It’s strange though, because there are so many users on twitter who were way more spammy than I was.  I did real tweets and shared links from my blog… those jerks!

According to the twitter rules:

*Spam: You may not use the Twitter service for the purpose of spamming anyone. What constitutes “spamming” will evolve as we respond to new tricks and tactics by spammers. Some of the factors that we take into account when determining what conduct is considered to be spamming are:

• If you have followed a large amount of users in a short amount of time;
• If you have followed and unfollowed people in a short time period, particularly by automated means (aggressive follower churn);
• If you repeatedly follow and unfollow people, whether to build followers or to garner more attention for your profile;

I suppose I hit the top-3!

Well I submitted a request to unsuspend my account, but I doubt it will be satisfied.  They said it takes 30 days to review.  I might as well start over…

For now, reach me on Google Voice:

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:

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

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.
