How to post an empty status on Facebook

Hi guys, as known in the normal way Facebook doesn't allow its users to update a blank status (empty status with no characters at all). but today i'll show you the ultimate trick to do that, it's very easy.

First log in to your Facebook account, click the text box where you are supposed to type your status update, now copy this code @[0:0: ] and paste it in your textbox without adding any other characters as you can see in the photo:

@[0:0: ].

Now click Post.

The result is a blank status.

In order to make your blank status much longer, copy-paste the @[0:0: ] code again as much as you like. and press Enter in order to go back to the line as much as you like.

Lines of @[0:0: ] to make your blank status any longer.

The result speaks for itself.

Why should delete and not hide posts from your timeline



Since facebook has launched its new timeline, many facebook users would tend to hide some of their posts rather than deleting them permanently, it's true that the hidden post will disappear from your timeline, but the fact that most users neglect is; even when you hide these posts from your timeline, they'll come back and appear in in your friend's new feeds and their search and that may not please all facebook users who believe that hidding post is the best way to get rid of their posts.

However you should be careful when you hide things from your timeline such as photos and updates because anyone of your friends will be able to view what's hidden in your timeline back only in his newsfeed.

Facebook has already given you a small note whenever you choose to hide things from your timeline:

Facebook warning message.

Deleting post is a more effecient way than hidding posts, you'll never know how can a hiden post will come back, you'll feel more comfortable deleting a post rather than hidding it.

I hope that this article made you aware on how should you get rid of the unwanted posts of your timeline.
