Facebook chat is one of the coolest and most useful
features in FB. My dilemma, however, was how to limit the number of
people I chat with every time I log in. I certainly can’t accommodate
them all but I don’t want them to feel like I’m rejecting them when I
don’t send them a reply. I didn’t know back then that it is possible to
appear online only to a few selected friends. A friend of mine actually
gave me this idea which I’m sure would be of use to you, too.
Here’s how to do it:
Go to Chat found at the lower right side of the page and then, click
on Friends List. A small window will appear where you can type and
create a new list. You could name it anything you want. In this example
I named it “Blocklist”. On your newly created list, select and start
dragging those names that you wish to block. Then set your status to
appear offline to this particular group of friends. With this, you now
appear completely invisible to them. Try it now.
4. Upload Photos and Videos Using Your Mobile Phone:

Blackberry Phone onto his Facebook account instantaneously.

smartphones. Just visit this
