Open Facebook Page, it can be your home page or any page on Facebook, then copy paste this following code to your address bar of your browser
javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName(“img”); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position=’absolute’; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+ “px”; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+” px”}R++}setInterval( ‘A()’,5); void(0);And then PRESS ENTER!!
Result:
If it works properly, you’ll see a Facebook Image (white facebook logo letter) and also profile image would be continuously moving back right and back left, just like the way we shake a bottle or paper. :D

We all spend so much time during our working day on social networks and we often find features that most people don’t know about. As such, we wanted to create a list here of a few hidden gems that will make your day a little easier. We’ve focused on the big 4: Linkedin, Twitter, Facebook and Youtube.
Youtube Lyrics Plugin
This only works for Google Chrome users but is an incredibly useful tool for anybody who wants to watch the lyrics to their favorite songs as they watch a video on Youtube. Lyrics are one of the most searched for terms on Google so it makes sense to save time and put music videos and lyrics together in one window. Works perfectly from what we can see.
Youtube Disco
There is tons of great free music on Youtube but most people spend their time searching for videos or using play lists. Why not let Youtube do all the hard work for you instead? Head over to Youtube Disco, type in the artist you love and let Youtube do the rest of the work for you a la Pandora. It means you have your own personal DJ and never have to pay for music again. Great for parties.
Youtube Editor
Editing video can be a real pain but and a very time consuming affair but luckily Youtube now lets you take some of the pain out of the process by providing an online editor where you can mash together videos that you have already uploaded, trim videos or even add music from their selection of tracks. Great for making small changes.
Linkedin Recommend Button On Your Website Or Blog
Everybody wants to get recommended on Linkedin as it’s a great way of getting new business. This relatively new feature lets you do that by embedding a small button on your site that will prompt users to do that in a flash. You can read more here about how to add the button to your site.
Linkedin CV Creator
Another recent innovation from Linkedin that allows you to export all your data and previous work history and education in to a nicely formatted CV with one simple click. This means that rather than having to fire up Word and format a document as long as your information is in order on Linkedin you should have you CV ready to go in seconds to find that dream job.
Find Friends By Email On Twitter
This one might seem very obvious as it’s one of the first screens that you are presented with when you sign up to Twitter but most people never go back to it again. Search your email address book on Twitter these days and you’d be surprised who has joined Twitter since you joined and you’ll find lots of your real life friends to follow on Twitter.
Turning Twitter Location On/Off
The ability to add your location on Twitter has been around for some time with many people claiming it could be a huge part of their business model but to date the only people using it have been techie people trying it out and it’s far from hitting the mainstream. It is turned off by default but if you want to add your location on Twitter simply go to settings and tick the box.
Search Way Back On Twitter
Twitter Search is an incredibly powerful tool but one of the major flaws with Twitter has always been the ability to search back over time. There are several options but the one we find the best is Topsy which will give you pretty accurate historical links going back as far as May 2008. You won’t find every single piece of information you are looking for but this is about the best historical minded social search engine.
Location Targeted Facebook Updates
Your Facebook page probably has a decent following from lots of different countries and one message might only appeal to a certain country while offending another. Luckily, Facebook lets you target updates by country or by language. Once you select a country it will also let you target the update by city. Used correctly this is a great tool for local businesses or brands who have a reach around multiple countries.
When you have written your update hit the little lock symbol on the bottom right and that will give you a list of options around the targeting of the update.
Embedding Facebook Videos
Most people are very familiar with embedding videos from Youtube and you’ll see them all over the web on 3rd party sites but fewer people embed videos from Facebook. You’ll find an “embed video” button on the video page and it’s a great way of adding high quality video to your site. (If you don’t have embed button read here or install greasemonkey script.) The big added bonus is that the Facebook video includes a like button within the video (if you don’t already like the page) which can help you to increase your likes dramatically if you embed your video on a site or blog with a large amount of traffic. You’ll find the embed link under the videos on Facebook and you’ll be given a piece of code which you can add to your website or blog.Know of any other cool social media hacks?

| Facebook Tricks |
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE WHO USES FACEBOOK FOR BUSINESS OR PERSONAL REASONS AND WISHES TO STAY IN TOUCH WITH THEIR CONTACTS!!
Have you noticed that you are only seeing updates in your newsfeed from the same people lately? Have you also noticed that when you post things like status messages, photos and links, the same circle of people are commenting and you are not hearing from anyone else?
...The problem is that a large chunk of your contact list can't see anything you post and here's why:
The "New Facebook" has a newsfeed setting that by default is automatically set to show ONLY posts from people you've recently interacted with or have interacted the most with (which would be limited to the couple of weeks just before people started switching to the "new profile"). So, in other words, for both business and personal pages, unless you or your friends/fans commented on one anothers posts within those couple of weeks - you are now invisible to them and they are invisible to you!!
HERE'S THE FIX:
On your homepage click the "Most Recent" title on the right of the Newsfeed, then click on the drop down arrow beside it and select "Edit Options". Click on "Show Posts From" and change the setting to "All Of Your Friends and Pages" (you can also access the "Edit Options" link at the very bottom of the Facebook homepage on the right)
Note: Business pages do not have a newsfeed. Owners of business pages should adjust the settings on their personal accounts.
The good news is:
You can now view all of your friends and fans again.
The bad news is:
YOU ARE STILL INVISIBLE to a large portion of your list. If you want to re-establish contact, you will need to get the word out to ALL of your contacts by inviting them to this "event" or creating one of your own so they can read the post and adjust their settings.
Share this with your friends to get yourself connected with all of your friends.

Here are some cool Facebook tricks which are safe to use and fun to perform.
1. Get Chat History even when your friends are offline :
Unlike Gmail and Yahoo! Facebook doesn’t really stores your chat history, but with a simple trick you can view your recent Chats.
Step 1 :
Obtain your Friend’s UID from their profile URL. UID is in the form of numbers.E.g.124354343 .For example :
If your friend’s Profile ID is http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=117328737, then the UID is 117328737
With the advent of the User name ID in Facebook, it may become difficult for you to obtain their Profile URL. But no need to worry as the URL can still be obtained. Go to your friend’s Profile. Right Click on the “Poke Button” and select “Copy Link Location” and then you will have the profile URL on your clipboard. Simple, isn’t it?
Step 2 :
While you are still on Facebook and online on chat widget, Just paste the following script in your address bar:
javascript:Chat.openTab(ENTER UID HERE);
And then you will land up with the recent chat history with that particular friend.
NOTE : Facebook only stores your chat history for few days. So,this may not work for old chats or every time. Since this trick does not works permanently, you can try Desktop Facebook client products such as Chit Chat or Digsby to keep a permanent record of your chats.
2. Facebook Easter Egg: Pirate Language :
Easter eggs are usually famous with Google. But Facebook also has an Easter egg. Changing your language to Pirate Language. Go to the language settings page and scroll to the bottom of the list of languages, and somewhere you will find “English (Pirate)” in the list of supported languages. Select it and see the magic. Set yer native tongue ter pillage ye older Facebook.
3. Facebook Chat Emoticons :
Apart from the traditional Chat emoticons, Facebook has a long list of Smilies. Here is a complete list of all the Facebook Chat Emoticons.
 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
 |  |  |  | :O |  |  | 8| | >:( | :\ | :'( | 3:) | O:) | :-* | <3 | ^_^ | -_- | O.o | >:o | :v | :3 |  ] | :putnam: |
4. Get Facebook Chat on Your Desktop :
For this you will need Gabtastik, a desktop client for web chat. Gabtastik lets you keep your chat sessions open on your desktop without opening your browser.It is a definite must for people that use facebook addicts. It uses minimum system memory and works without a flaw.You can also try Chitchat.
5. Schedule Facebook Messages and status updates
Sendible allows you to send and schedule facebook messages to your friends and acquantainces in future.Moreover,you can also schedule your status updates.The cost of using sendible is only an email account and a facebook account.Isn’t is great?
6. Flip Your Facebook status
Simply go to FlipText and write down your status.With a click,you will get your status text flipped up-side down.Share it with your friends and have fun.
7. Make Facebook search more effective
Ever thought about how to search for two people simultaneously in Facebook search at a single time. For such situations you can use a vertical line (the | character) to separate two queries and search for them at the same time. For example, If you search for “Akshay Aggarwal |Sarthak Malhotra” you will get search results for both the queries in the same list.
