Even though Facebook is constantly changing, there are some good tips and Facebook secrets that you can use to get the most out of it—and impress your followers with creative status updates.

These facebook secrets are pretty basic, but they can make your Facebook account really stand out and be easier to use than ever before. Try these out for yourself:

1. The Dislike Application: Now that the “Become a Fan” button has been replaced by the “Like” button, there has been a lot of talk about incorporating a “Dislike” button onto Facebook. Personally, I don’t like the idea of a “Dislike” button and think that if you don’t like something don’t view it. However, if you are curious and want to check out this application, you can use the Status Magic Facebook application.
2. Hide Status Updates: If you only want your status updates to be available to certain friends you can use the privacy settings and friend lists. The easiest way is to create friend lists for groups (i.e., business, personal, etc.), so that you can separate out who you want to see your updates by list.
3. PreSchedule Updates: Just like with the other social media sites, like Twitter, you can use a service to schedule status updates. One that is easy and free is called Later Bro. I use Hootsuite and love it.
4. 4.     Tag People’s Names in Status Updates: Another new Facebook secret is using @ tags in your updates to tag people, so that the post shows up both on your wall and their wall. The feature also works with brands, companies, pages, and events. You simply type the @ symbol and the name without a space and is shows up in blue with the name as a hyperlink.
5. 5.     Add Symbols to Your Status: This trick allows you to type various symbols into your status updates. Interestingly, the only symbol you can type into the status update box is a ♥, by typing “<3,” but can type in characters and symbols using “alt” plus various number combinations.
6. 6.     Make Status Updates into a Word Cloud: The application Status Analyzer 3D generates a word cloud list of anyone’s most recent status updates.
7. 7.     Type Upside Down: There are a few amusing options to flip your text, such as TypeUpsideDown.com and UpsideDownText.com.
8. See Updates Around the Globe: A site called OpenBook allows you to see updates from Facebook users around the world whose privacy settings are open to everyone. The most interesting thing here is you can narrow search results by keywords and subject matter.
9. Check Your Status Statistics: Find out how many times you’ve updated your status with the application called Status Statistics, which gives you information about your posts.
10.  Link to Anyone’s Profile Page: This final Facebook secret allows you to share what looks to be an anonymous link to a random Facebook page. However, when the person clicks on it, they will automatically be directed to their profile page. The url is:  http://facebook.com/profile.php?=73322363

Try these facebook secrets to make your status updates more creative and dynamic.
