With FriendFeed now under the wings of Facebook, there’s a pretty good chance that we’ll see more third party apps developing for the one stop social networking update site. This is good news for FriendFeed which has been overpowered by Twitter in terms of growth. If more developers will continue to support the service, it will no doubt become a better alternative for most to the popular Twitter service.

FFScheduler is an app that allows you to schedule your posts on FriendFeed. It functions pretty much like the number of Twitter apps that does exactly the same thing. To schedule your posts and make them appear as if you are live and online.

To use the app, just head over to their site and login to your FriendFeed account through the service. Allow access to FfScheduler to begin scheduling your posts. Just place the title of the post, link and your first comment. You can also add multiple photo URLs and Audio (mp3) URLs on your scheduled posts.

Give Your Facebook Page The Glare Effect Using the Konami Code

This is a Facebook Easter egg that I’ve just recently discovered. I don’t know for how long has this been active on Facebook. You might already have heard about it or know how to do it but I’m just going to share it with you anyway.

The Konami Code or Konami command is a cheat code that appears on many Konami games. I remember using the code whenever I play Contra (Nintendo Entertainment System) back in the days. So here’s how the cheat goes. Just press Up-Up-Down-Down- Left- Right- Left- Right- B- A and you’re all set. Now, Facebook seemed to have implemented this cheat code. Actually, it’s more of a special effect code rather than a cheat code. What happens when you press the buttons mentioned on your keyboard is you get a glaring effect on your Facebook page whenever you click your mouse. It’s not really something that will enhance user experience while using Facebook, some might even consider it an annoyance but it’s still fun and good to know that such thing exists. Go try it out on your Facebook page. On your keyboard, press Up-Up-Down-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right-b-a-enter.
