Have you ever had a Facebook Event, Page or Group you wanted to invite hundreds of your friends to?
I know you will be thrilled to learn that the long, painful, tedious process of individually clicking each ones picture is a thing of the past!
Now with a little Facebook hacking (trick)…. or wizardry… you can select and invite all of your friends to invite them with one single click!
Step 1: Get Firefox
Step 2: Get Greasemonkey
Step 3: Get the Script
Step 4: Get the code:
javascript:elms=document.getElementById('friends').getElementsByTagName('li');for(var fid in elms){if(typeof elms[fid] === 'object'){fs.click(elms[fid]);}}
Step 5: Share it and let me know what you think!
I hope this gives one more way to speed up an otherwise boring Facebook task! I look forward to hearing your thoughts and I appreciate your feedback!

Hey Kimberly, I installed everything and followed step by step to invite my group to join my fan page. Not sure if it worked, But I’m getting there. I usually have to do things a few times before I don’t screw up.
I’m techno disabled, but this is a great way to simplify things. I’ll keep at it and thanks once again. Donna
Kimberly, thanks, that’s an awesome tip. I already have Greasemonkey installed so as soon as I’m done with my comment here I’ll go install this great tool. You’re right, it’s really a hassle to have to invite all your friends manually.
Thanks for sharing and have a nice day!

This is so great Kimberly! A very valuable time saving tip. Going through the click click click is so irritating! Firefox sure has a lot of great add on’s! Thanks again for the tip, and the education behind it. I always learn so much from your Blog Posts!

Great tip, Kim. You’ve always got our back out here! Thanks for always sharing such great stuff.
Kimberly,
You are an incredible leader, my friend. Every time I visit your blog I learn new valuable information. Still haven’t figured out the glitch with Greasemonkey, but when I do, I’ll employ this technique.
To say I appreciate you is putting it mildly …

Kimberly thanks for taking the time to share this info…. What a time saver!!! thank you so much
Hey Kimberly. Thanks for the tip. I have about 1400 friends and it does get extremely annoying to go through this process for all the pages I administer. I also tried using the script in Google Chrome and it works perfectly. No extensions needed – just hit “suggest to friends” and then paste the script into your address bar!
Thanks again!!

Hi Kimberly!
Thanx a lot for this! Finally! I have gone through my lists one by one in the past-lol-
I have a question; do you have any idea if something similar is possible with the Networked blog app..? I can only invite 12 people each day, so the building up of followers could take forever–It would be so awesome to be able to invite all my Facebook friends at once:-)
Wishing you a wonderful day!

I checked into this Maria and that 16 is hard-wired into the application itself. Nothing I tried would override it. I looked for scrips and other “hacks” with no success. I’m afraid thats one we’re just stuck with. I was also disappointed to see that like the other invite boxes, with the recent changes to facebook, that one has also lost the ability to sort by list. How annoying. Sorry I cant be more help!
Kimberly
(PS: Thanks for the great question! Sometimes they help me come up with useful blog posts, really appreciate it!)
Thank you so much for looking into it Kimberly!
I really appreciated it:-)
Yes, I guess we are stuck with this one for now. I remember in the beginning I was able to invite 30 friends at once (per day), then after a while it dropped to 16/day, and now it’s on 12/day.
I don’t get the logic behind it – lol
Oh, well
Thank you again for your help
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
