It’s a common question on the Internet: how do I suggest an event to all of my friends? How do I suggest a fan page to all of my friends? How do I suggest an application to all of my friends?

It’s easy — just click all their pictures, one by one. Just kidding, it’s easier than that. Watch this.

I (obviously) manage the Being Better Than Everyone Else Facebook page. Now, say I want to suggest the page to all of my friends. I click Suggest to friends and get a display something like this:

Now, here’s the trick. Right click some greyspace and click Open frame in new tab (depending on your browser, this option may be worded slightly different – this is how it is worded in Chrome.)

You’ll get the prompt from above, except on a new page. Now, enter the following line into your browser’s URL bar…
javascript:fs.select_all();

…and press enter!

Bam! Lastly, click Send invitations and you’re done!

Note that Facebook staggers invitations. That is, if you send thousands at once, it’ll send some now, some after a little while, more after another little while, and so on until all of your invitations are sent.
