He should have known better than to leave his Facebook profile open on someone else’s computer. Usually, I’m pretty unimpressed with jokes that hinge on dudes acting like there’s something inherently hilarious about homosexuality—unless they’re Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd—but this prank is pretty genius.

(Side note: How on earth are there that many groups about loving cock??) Changing around someone’s Facebook profile is the ultimate prank. We all spend way too much time worrying about presenting ourselves in the best light possible on Facebook: listing the right favorite movies and music, displaying a flattering profile pic, writing something funny and pithy in our “About Me” sections.

So, since witnessing a Facebook prank at its finest, I’ve been thinking about other ways to subtly mess with my friends’ Facebook profiles, given the chance.

Instead of going to the targeted website and navigating to their search, you can start your site specific search from any site using the address bar.

For example, suppose you search The Internet Movie Database (IMDB) on a regular basis. You can define a smart keyword such as "imdb", then you can search IMDB for information. For example to search William Shatner, you would enter "imdb William Shatner" in the address bar. Visit the website that has the search you want to use and click on the search field. Right-clickHold down the control key while you click to open the Context Menu. To use this created smart bookmark, type the keyword and the search string in the address bar and press EnterReturn.
