The best way to prepare for a fanng interview is to have friends there and get fast tracked on easy mode.
FB rejected me twice and both times I followed a study plan much like the blog and in my case it turned out that I got too complicated with it and spent too much time on cool shit like dynamic programming, tries, all-pairs shortest paths but I should have stuck to drilling the simple data structures like stacks and BSTs cause that is all I ever got asked about.
I also got backchannelled during the behavioral the 2nd time around which I suspect may have been defamation. In the end my fan club did me a favor helping me dodge a bullet because I probably would have accepted an offer until I read about how bad morale at facebook really is (which in hindsight was reflected loud and clear in the conduct of the aforementioned behavioral).
One thing I have noticed about remote interviewing in general but especially with facebook is how disgustingly filthy some of the panelist's backgrounds were. During the portion where the candidate is allowed to ask questions I wanted to ask "Damn, you live like this?"
