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.
5. Cool Magic Circles on Facebook: This is really
simple, though I admit I didn’t get this the first time. This cool magic
circles appearing on your page is just one of the many secret tricks

And I’m saving the best for the last. By default your status update have only one font, but you can always use 3rd party service to change the font of your status update. Here is a cool website which you can use to change font for your Facebook status updates.
