Google makes searching fun with countless Easter Eggs, to include typing “do a barrel roll” in Google Search and following suite with “let it snow.”

Today’s trick is ridiculously cool and all your friends will love it. I learned about it from another Facebook friend and had a blast with it. I haven’t yet determined where or when it originated. I’m also puzzled on exactly how the coding works, but it absolutely does.

It’s a cool little trick. In experimenting, I’m finding some interesting names for both my phone and my friends. It’s simple to do, just follow the instructions below and add the code on your Facebook page.

1. Take the last three numbers of your phone. Example-xxx-xxx-x473, take “473″only
2. Write this @*[473:0] in the comment box below, replacing the 3 numbers with your own.
3. Remove the * sign and press enter in the comment box.

My iPhone goes by the name Ashley Atkins. Big thanks to Jason for the tip! Share your phone’s name is in the comments below.

Emoinstaller by Athena [...]]]> Facebook Chat is one of the most widely used communication methods today, eclipsing one billion messages each day. With the ridiculous number of users on Facebook, you’ll always find friends online ready to chat with you. While Facebook is already pretty great, you can always add a little flair to the conversation. 

Emoinstaller by Athena IT is a free application that integrates with Facebook Chat. Emoinstaller is compatible with Google Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer and requires a download to use. Once you download emoinstaller, restart your browser. Upon accessing emoinstaller, you’ll notice the emoinstaller monkey icon.

By clicking the icon, you can choose to use over 900 emoticons within your chat. Emoticons are divided by size and category and a mouse click will add the facebook emoticon to your chat. Categories consist of school days, words, animals, sport, music, faces and really just about anything you’d think of.

One major drawback to this application is in order to share the emoticons with friends, the friend you chat with must have emoinstaller installed. You’ll know because it will identify whether the user you are chatting with has it installed.

In testing the application, I found emoinstaller to be very simple to use. There are more emoticons than I would ever have a need to use.

If you’re a Facebook Chat user who likes to use emoticons, this may be what you’ve been looking for.
