101 Cool Facebook Hacks: One of my readers (Fiona King) dropped me a note about this blog post she found regarding 101 facebook hacks on CollegeDegrees.com. This is the an amazing list for die hard facebook users or for even casual users that want to do some cool things with facebook. This is an amazing list for multitasking, productivity and shortcuts compiled by Laura Milligan.

Find out all the cool things you can do with Facebook that you never knew about: like saving time and letting you combine all of your address books, contacts and calendars, advertise, etc. Use these hacks to combine your Facebook account with your other social media accounts or online organizers, like Google calendar, Twitter and others.

10 of my favorites for “syncing” facebook stuff:
1. Facebook events to Google calendar: This Greasemonkey hack lets you quickly add a Facebook event to your Google calendar with one click.
2. AIM Plugin: When you’re signed on to AIM, this plugin also lets you know whenever you’ve been tagged, poked or messaged on Facebook.
3. Digsby: Digsby is another tool that combines your Facebook, Google Talk, AIM, MSN, and other accounts.
4. Flock: This web browser works with Windows, Mac and Linux, and it features a sidebar that “pulls in your friends from Facebook (and Twitter, Flickr, and YouTube) so you can keep them with you as you surf the Web.”
5. OutSync: Microsoft Outlook users who have this Facebook app will find that their friends’ profile pictures also appear in their Outlook address book entries.
6. My Photo Index: Easily organize and manage photos on Facebook and Flickr with this joint hack.
7. Timegram: Send pre-set Skype and Chat messages with this scheduler.
8. Twitter2FB: Update your status only once with this tool, which displays the same status on Twitter as it does on Facebook.
9. FeedBurner Facebook: This popular app displays headlines from your FeedBurner blogs and feeds on Facebook.
