People who are behind making new friends daily and want to increase their friends base, they don't feel it is important to even know whether the request is real or fake. 
But sometimes it is necessary to know who these people are who without you knowing them are sending friend requests. Facebook informs the mutual friends between you and the new friend one who is known to both of you.
Taking this situation into consideration, finding a solution for finding out who actually are the people who send you friend requests must be known to you. So, Facebook has an app for that too. 
FakeOFF app - an app to protect your account from scammers or fakers. This finds out the bogus and fake accounts.

Depending upon the score of the analysis, you will have to decide whether you can continue to be friends or not. 
On this same lines, there is another app called FB Checker app that also informs you who is fake and who is real.

How to Access Your Facebook Account when Blocked?

Every day social networking users are so addicted to Facebook, that it has become a personal networking site. In addition to kids and teenagers, adults have also become addicted to Facebook. Having the largest number of friends and likes on their status is more of a status symbol than scoring marks or scoring goals in football. People have taken Facebook more seriously than real life. The most astonishing thing about Facebook is, people socialize with colleagues, parents, siblings only through Facebook and not at the dinner/lunch table.

So, if kids at school, teenagers at college, and adults at workplace are blocked access to Facebook, it creates a uproar. So for this situation, I’ve come up with some ways on how to access Facebook when blocked.

Using OpenDNS Method

OpenDNS offers DNS resolution for consumers and businesses as an alternative to using their ISP’s DNS servers. All you have to do is right click your Local Area Network connection and choose properties. In the following list that is displayed, select IPv4 or Internet Protocol (TCP/IPv4) and click properties. In the new windows, use the following DNS server addresses.

  • Preferred DNS Server : 208.67.222.222
  • Alternate DNS Server: 208.67.220.220

In Windows 7, the process is as follows.

Open Network and Sharing Center (Control Panel >> All Control Panel Items >> Network and Sharing Center) and click on Local Area Connection.

Now, once you changed the DNS servers, your question of “How to access Facebook when Blocked?” may be answered!

Some Proxy Sites!

You may use some of the proxy-sites listed below to access Facebook when blocked.

Get a Paid VPN Service

Sometimes, it’s better to buy a paid VPN service, instead of trying so-many proxy sites which you may wonder which one will work?

AccessExists

http://www.accessexists.com/

This is a special site where they provide special links, allowing acces to Facebook when blocked, in-spite of any restrictions. Actually you get into original site, just through another link which is unknown in your office, at school or college, so they cannot block it. In this case all functions of the website are operating ones, you can communicate with friends, place and look through the photos etc. They constantly create new addresses for access to Facebook. Even if current addresses are locked, you can receive the new ones. But on the con-side, their service is on paid basis.


After researching on this issue, I found that sometimes network admins may use good software to completely block access to Facebook, which makes these tricks useless.

Happy news : Facebook Adds Skype Video Chat Feature

Facebook adds vieo chat feature


Facebook has announced a partnership with Skype to add video chat to the social networking site.

The move is likely to be seen as a shot across the bow of Google, which recently launched a Facebook rival, Google+, also featuring video calling.

This is not the first time Facebook and Skype have teamed up – they already share some instant messaging tools.
Skype is in the process of being bought by Microsoft, which is a major shareholder in Facebook.

The new video-call service was launched by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who also revealed that the site now had more than 750 million users.
However, he said that the total number of active users was no longer a useful measure of the site’s success.

Instead, the amount of sharing – of photographs, videos and web links – was a better indication of how people engaged with the site, explained Mr Zuckerberg.

At launch, Facebook’s video chat service will only be able to connect two users face-to-face, whereas Google’s system allows group video calls, known as Hangouts.
