Auto Like and Confirm All Facebook Friend Requests
Never been a great fan of social websites because I just don’t like the idea of too many people revealing too much information publicly on the Internet. Although some information can only be seen if they are added as friends, but it wouldn’t be too hard to be added as friend with a little social engineering. One day me and one of my friend were discussing about Twitter and we laughed at how some people tweeted that they are having so much fun outside which only meant they are not at home. Thief can now break in to houses by monitoring tweets.
Anyway, no matter how much I anti social websites, I have to keep up with times and technology. I signed up a Facebook account few months back but never really did anything to it, leaving it idle. One day when I was ready to check out Facebook, to my surprise I saw that there were already more than 200 friend requests!
I looked around and couldn’t find a button where I can automatically confirm all friend requests. Facebook probably just wants you to be sure that you are confirming the requests of someone you know and not just anyone. Since I don’t have personal information on my Facebook account, I have no problems confirming the 200 friend requests. I surely won’t want to click the Confirm button one at a time, so I looked for a solution that enables me to automatically confirm all Facebook friend requests.
There is a bookmarklet which I found called ConfirmAll last updated on 2009-07-09 but unfortunately it didn’t work. Then I searched further and found a working userscript called FB AutoLike Status & AutoConfirm/Unconfirm All Friend Request. In order to use this script, you will need to either use Firefox with GreaseMonkey add-on installed or Chrome with TamperMonkey extension. After installing the script, the widget will appear at the bottom left when you are at Facebook website.
To confirm all friend requests automatically, all I need to do is click on All Confirm link on the widget. Do note that you may need to refresh the friends request page after confirming all because Facebook only displays a maximum of 200 friend requests at a time. Other than this, you can also like/unlike all status, expand comments and like/unlike comment. If you find the widget annoying, you can click on the small arrow pointing to the left that is beside the text Auto Like By Nel Panget to hide it. Hiding of the widget only works on Firefox but not on Chrome.

Hi Raymond, if you are using Facebook you should use Social Fixer (formerly known as Better Facebook) it has tons of options, very user friendly and it allows you to set up your page the exactly the way you want to and what, how and when you see it on Facebook. Check it out

@ George – Hooray for sanity – well said.
@ Abhishek – Actually, they’re not pseudo friends – the appropriate collective term (at best) is “aquaintances” because they make no pretense of “befriending you” – it is purely childish one-upmanship in having more names associated with their own to make them feel more important. A way to validate their otherwise meaningless existances. It’s the herd or pack instinct like the rioters in the UK recently.
@ Max – That’s the sort of juvenile response one would expect of one of the above described OR a Facebook PR employee. How in the name of all that is sacred you can call Raymond “antisocial” when he puts in so much invaluable effort to produce this helpful site over the years – for US – for FREE – is utterly beyond comprehension to all but you.
Facebook’ ethos is less about delivering a helpful service to mankind than a reflection of the evangelical mindset of a social misfit creator who truly believes that there should be no secrets in life – that people should not be entitled to privacy. Let’s get real. No two human beings are the same but they all have secrets of one form or another – ranging from hiding what you bought a child for its birthday until the time of giving – to the fact you like to wear your girlfriend’s lace panties ! You may say “Well don’t post what you don’t want known” – which is a valid response – however …… MZ’s desire to show where you are at any minute of the day via his insane and (almost) criminally insane location finder stunt, surely point to the mentality of a man who has something DEEPLY troubling about his power of reason.
I do confess however, that given the stated, understandable, lack of enthusiasm for the present crop of social websites, …..the desire to be helpful to us all would have been better served on another topic. Why help people to make a bad situation, worse?
You may care to look into a young site called “OnlyMeWorld”
How social can you be if you cant make friends without a webcam.and lets not forget those wonderful cat & dog stories that are being updated every 20 minutes,god help us.Thank you facebook for giving us one more reason not to leave our comfy chairs and meet people face to face.
Hey Raymond,
I totally agree with you, that most of these so-called social networking sites are just a waste of time, and 99.99 % of the friends that we have on them, are just not friends, but pseudo-friends. They are just there, for the sake of it. And the idea of revealing all private info on the public, is such a disgusting idea.
Moreover, meeting your friends face-to-face, is far more fulfilling experience. And you just cant get that experience, online, even when you are video-chatting.
Raymond.. I cant believe u can be a anti-social element.
Well I do have some really good friends in real life and also in forum.
I am only anti about social websites because of what it does and what it can do, that doesn’t necessarily make me an anti-social person.
used confirmAll a long time ago, but cant get the working replacement bmk, thx 4 sharing, raymond.
