It’s a pretty common issue when it comes to inviting friends to a group or fan page on Facebook. The solution, however, is quite simple. Take the italicized text below and paste it into the address bar of your web browser (I’ve heard of issues with Internet Explorer but Firefox should be handle it fine), hit enter, and all of your friends will be selected when you are on the invitation page.

javascript:elms=document.getElementById(’friends’).getElementsByTagName(’li’);for(var fid in elms){if(typeof elms[fid] === ‘object’){fs.click(elms[fid]);}}

It may take a second for all of them to get selected, but be patient and it will happen. Enjoy!

If you’ve never read Chip and Dan Heath’s book “Made to Stick“, I’d highly recommend it.

In their book they cover six reasons why some ideas stick in our brains like gum on a sneaker, and others just bounce right off. Those six keys to “stickiness” are to have your idea be/have:

Simple
Unexpected
Concrete
Credibility
Emotion
Stories

The video above is one of the best examples I have ever seen of these principles in action. Elegantly simple, but completely unexpected at the same time while drawing on a deep, real, and emotional thread. Wow.

I am proud to know a couple of the minds behind a recent non-profit organization that launched called “Fight the New Drug”. Focused on educating people on the effects of pornography, rather than trying to merely eliminate it, FTND has the potential to do a ridiculous amount of good.

A few years ago I witnessed three solid, happy families get torn apart because of the father’s addiction to pornography. They got lulled into thinking it wouldn’t affect anyone but themselves (which is the excuse most folks seem to make), they were, however, wrong in the end.

Today, I became a “fighter” and would invite you to do the same. Help them spread the word about just what pornography can do:
