Chat with your Facebook friends with Facebook Messenger
Messenger is a new app that brings Facebook to your desktop. While you surf the web or use other applications on your computer, you can:
- Chat and message with your friends on Facebook
- See the latest updates from your friends in ticker
- Get quick notifications about what’s going on
Messenger lets you use Facebook without being on www.facebook.com. You will now be able to stay in touch anytime, no matter what you’re doing.
Facebook Messenger is available for Windows 7 with an app for Windows Vista in the pipeline.

Download photos from Facebook with Pick&Zip
Facebook has become a powerful medium to share your photographs. Even I took the plunge a few months back when I came to London. The best feature of Facebook’s photo support is the ability to tag your friends in photos. Usually, these are photos that you do not own and I am sure you’ve love to have a copy of them for your records.
You could go about the long drawn way of downloading these one at a time, or you grab hold of a utility that would do the job. One such software is Pick&Zip.
Pick&Zip is a totally free online tool that will allow you downloading photos from Facebook in a single zip or pdf file.
Using Pick&Zip is very simple. All you need to do is login to the app using your Facebook profile and it will display to you a list of friends. You can select any of your friends and download the images that they have been tagged in. Or, you can select “Find my photos” and it will display all the photos that you have been tagged in. Select the images you want and download these either individually or as a group. I preferred to simply download all the 138 tagged photos and albums that I had (yes I am not that popular) in zip file format.
The software worked beautifully with all the photos neatly sorted into separate folders and now I have a backup of all the photographs that I have been tagged in.

I have refreshed the color scheme of this blog. While it is still being powered by the same theme, I chose to go in for a shade of maroon instead of the traditional black.
Thanks to Rishi who has been after me for quite a while to make this change.
I have also “claimed” a username for the Techtites page on Facebook and if you haven’t already become a fan on Facebook, I urge you to do so.
You can easily click the “Become a fan” button in the Facebook widget just below this post.

Find your Facebook friends who use Twitter with Twabble’s fb140
There are so many social networking platforms out there that I don’t think anyone has an exact count. As bloggers, we try to make our presence felt on as many as possible. Currently, without doubt, Facebook and Twitter are the two extremely popular social networking sites. While Facebook has a lot more to offer than Twitter, Twitter’s popularity is second to none in its market.
You can improve your connectivity with your Facebook friends by finding them and following them on Twitter. I’m pretty sure they will follow you back. While you can go about manually hunting down their Twitter ids, Twabble’s fb140 application makes life easy for you.
In three steps you’re good to go.
- Sign into Facebook so that we know who you are, and can check your friends list
- Sign in to Twitter so that we can link it to your Facebook account
- Select which of your friends you want to follow
And, if you haven’t been following me yet, I’m present as @ajaydsouza and @Techtites on Twitter and ajaydsouza on Facebook. And if you haven’t already please do become a fan of Techtites on FB. If you’re adding me on Facebook, do drop in a line so I know who you are.
Thanks to @ronakshah for the tip.
