LATEST UPDATE: It seems that Facebook has made some updates to the way that you can select friends and now the original bookmarklet doesn’t seem to work 100%. But thanks to a comment from Rakib and pointing me on the direction of another method which you can find here.

But my favourite method is by using a handy Facebook Invite All Chrome extension that is also mentioned on the post, which is the perfect way of having the option to “toggle all” your FaceBook friends

—Original Post—

This post is an updated version of the original, I’ve updated it to now include a FaceBook Friend Select Bookmarklet to make it easier for you to use..

There comes a time when we all want to select all our friends on Facebook for some reason or another either to invite then to a page, group or something else and if you have loads of friends, it can take forever to click each one to select them, so, if you do want to select all your friends in FaceBook in one go then follow these simple instructions to set you on your way.

1. Drag this to your browser toolbar to get you started. FaceBook Friend Select
2. When you are on your Event, Group or page and click “Invite People”.
3. When the desired page has loaded you will see a list of your friends, but there is no way of selecting all your friends to get invites.
4. Simply click on the FaceBook Friend Select Bookmarklet and after a few seconds, depending on how many friends you have, they will all be selected..
5. Now you should see that all your friends have been selected, if they haven’t and only a few have, then this usually means that you can only add x amount of friends at a time.

It’s been a fair while since I last did any updating to the Blazing Minds Toolbar, so I’ve updated it with a few minor updates, moving the icons around a bit to make them fit together better. I’ve also improved the RSS feed on the Toolbar so now when there is a new post on Blazing Minds and you have the toolbar installed in FireFox, IE and Safari you’ll be the firt to get the update in the toolbar.

There are several improvements that I will be doing with the Blazing Minds Toolbar over time, but for now, I would appreciate anyone to give it a go, ut’s easy to uninstall if you don’t like it, so no worries there, I would also like it if anyone has any ideas on what you think should be added to the Blazing Minds Toolbar to improve it in any way

So if you would like to give it a go, then just click on the download button below and thanks in advance for trying it out

This is a question that I have been asked before by loads of my friends and I thought I would write a short post on my tips for your mass of DMs or Direct Messages that you may have building up on your Twitter profile.

First of all your DMs shouldn’t really give you any cause for concern, even though they may be a bit of a pain to have loads, they are generally not a problem, but, if you do want to get rid of them, there is sadly no option on Twitter to delete multiple DMs, so how do you do it?

Sadly it seems that someone has been out Phishing again and earlier I saw a tweet in my timeline from the Safety team at Twitter with regards to the attack and that accounts that they think may have been attacked have been sent a password reset

So if you do get an email from Twitter asking you to reset your password, first of all make sure that the link in the email does indeed go to Twitter and no where else and then go ahead with updating your Twitter.

Be safe and always make sure your email from Twitter is real, if Twitter think that you are at risk then you should have received one of these emails already or you will be getting one shortly, another good point to remember is try not to use website that ask for your Twitter password and only use sites that use the Twitter OAuth for your security when giving access to your Twitter account.

I was watching the news earlier and was quite shocked to find out that we are spending around 22 hours and 15 minutes a day on the internet!

It’s a scary thought, that means that 65% of British internet users are spending far more much time that three years ago and it seems that social network are to blame, you know the ones

The victims of our social network generation are those that use IM (Instant Messaging), three years ago 14% of users used IM and now that has reduced to to 5%.

And though we all spend more time we are still on other sites and it seems that classified sites and auction site are starting to rise, with the amount of people frequenting them and increasing to 4.7% of a users usage on the internet. Gaming is still quite popular with internet users and I suppose with broadband speeds slowly increasing, these will probably get more over time as well.

Reading about the news online has also had an increase with 2.8% compared to three years ago where these site had around 1.5%

People spend more time on news sites than they do on adult content, the survey shows.

“It is a bit of a digital myth that everyone online visits adult sites,” said Mr Burmaster.

“We divide the internet into 85 different sections so the fact that adult content is in the top 10 shows it is still one of the most heavily used sectors,” he added.

He puts the rise of social networking down to its organic nature.

“It is like an organism, feeding off itself and getting bigger. People are plugging more and more of their lives into it,” he said.

What we are spending our time doing online

• Social networks/blogs – 22.7%
• E-mail – 7.2%
• Games – 6.9%
• Instant Messaging – 4.9%
• Classified/Auctions – 4.7%
• Portals – 4%
• Search – 4%
• Software info/products – 3.4%
• News – 2.8%
• Adult – 2.7%

So there we have it, the world of the internet and the social networking lifestyle is really here!

So what’s your point of view on this poll that has been carried out? Share your thoughts with me and my readers

Flipping is the term used to describe the practice of buying something and then reselling that something for profit. In this case websites, but the term is most commonly associated with real estate.

Profits, when flipping real estate, are often achieved after buying property for a low price, fixing it up and then reselling it. This is the popular fix and flip cycle wherein the purchaser will often get a good deal by finding property that is in need of renovation or repair and negotiating a knock down purchase price. They then add value to the property by carrying out the necessary repairs and renovations before selling it for a tidy profit.
