Hacking Facebook with Javascript

Hacking Facebook with Javascript now updated for the latest (March 2010) version of facebook! Because facebook relies so heavily on javascript, and because we can type javascript into the address bar, that means we can “poke” into the workings of facebook to do things that we wouldn’t normally be able to do.

The best part is that because it’s all using the same control codes (or “API”) that facebook uses, there’s no way for facebook to find out you’re doing it, so it’s totally safe!

Of course it’s not permanent, they can go back online by clicking the icon as normal, or by giving the same command again Facebook Hack: Change facebook color Check this out: Isn’t that cool?
