Guys, how do I send a message to all my friends on facebook - in one go I mean ? same message. Thanks Love Fuzzy

I don't think you can send a message to them all at once Fuzzy, you would have to go through and add them all to the send, pretty time consuming (depending on how many contacts you have)

You could post a note and tag all your contacts to that, but then it just appears on the latest updates page and not in their Inbox or with an e-mail notification.

Or you could invite all your contacts to a new group, as you can message all members in a group if you are the admin.

No simple answer really!

If you place all your friend in one "friend list" (friends section - left hand side to create one) then you can send an message to the friend list.

When you are composing a message just type in the name of the friend list instead of an individual

Fuz, go to 'friends', then on the left hand side you'll see 'make a new list'. Name your new list and hit enter. Then look for 'select multiple friends' in the main window. You can selct all of your friends here and add them to the list. When you send a message after you've added them to the list it will go to them all when you select that list!

This wont help you I'm afraid as you've struggled through this already however it may help someone else reading this thread.

When you have created a new friend list and wish to add friends to it, there is an option to "select multiple friends" this can be found to the right hand side of the box where you'd enter the names yourself (which only allows the 19 you mention).

Once you have clicked on "select multiple friends" you'll see a visual representation of all your friends in a grid, go through and select them all with a click to each, and then save it and hey presto the new friend list will have everyone in it.
