Retrive Chat history on Facebook!

Well, it is actually impossible to retrieve chat history on facebook once you hit the "X" on chat window, but recently there is a javascript available that makes the impossible possible.

All you have to do is:

Use the java script given below:

javascript:buddyList.itemOnClick(Facebook_id);

Replace the "Facebook_id" with your friend's id. Your friends id is the number displayed on the page URL on his/her Profile Page, which looks like this http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=592456486&ref=nf

Copy that numbers exactly and replace only the "Facebook_id" on the code, don't replace the brackets and ";" must be there.

Now copy all the script with your friends id and paste it on the browser's address bar then hit enter, the chat window should pop-up with the history on it.

Note: Chat history is cleared every few days, so you can't rely on this code always. But this code works perfectly for recent history.

If you need some more help here is a video tutorial that can guide you through:

Facebook Instant Messenger

Facebook instant messenger application is powered by N-VisionIT Interactive.

With Facebook Instant Messenger we can chat with friends and also be involved in a group chat, which means, you can chat with several friends all at the same time, now in facebook. You can also send message to offline contacts.

Facebook instant Messenger is similar to other Facebook apps that you can add to Facebook. Once Facebook instant Messenger is added you'll be able to create a chat room for you and all your friends to chat together.

How to add Facebook Instant Messenger?


Add Facebook Instant Messenger just like you would add any other Facebook app.

Go to the Facebook Instant Messenger app page

Click the "button" to add the application.

Once you're in the Facebook Instant Messenger chat page start adding friends. Click on the tab that says "Invite". Choose the friends you want to chat with and invite them to add the Facebook Messenger app. The person you want to chat with must also have this application.

Facebook Messenger can be accessed later, through a small icon at the bottom of the page.

Facebook Chat on your desktop

You dont have to go to facebook.com and chat on that tiny little messenger if all you want to do is chat with your facebook buddies.

You can do it right from your desktop as you used to do long before :-) on MSN messenger through clients like:

Download Chitchat - Windows OS

Download Adium - for MAC OS

Hide your online status from selected friends

So you don’t want some of your friends to see you online on facebook chat while you are online. You can easily block selected people from sending you annoying messages, when you are busy with something else.

Simply open up the Facebook Chat and click on Friends List.

Start creating a new list called BlockList.

Once the list is created, add those friends to the list that you want to appear offline to. When the list is complete, hover your mouse to the little green icon adjacent to the list and click Go Offline. Bingo! You will now appear offline to everybody in the BlockList.
