Make your own smileys in facebook chat

Just bored by sending 🙂 or 🙁 even :p. Days of these smileys are just over. You can send a biscuit to your pet over fb-chat provided your pet should be on other side :). You can send a rose to your loved ones 😉 and….the list goes on…
So the trick is to make use of id.
Follow these GET-SET-GO steps to do so:

  1. GET (find id of your profile or page)
    • If you have not customized your public profile URL then it will look like:
      http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001734798744

    here the URL itself shows id=100001734798744.

    • If you have customized your public profile URL then it will look like:
      http://www.facebook.com/pradypradeep

    here no id is shown but username is shown. Username is “pradypradeep”.
    So, to find id in such case goto:
    http://graph.facebook.com/pradypradeep

    You must replace your username in URL.

  2.  SET (type id in chat box)
    • Type the id in chat box.
  3.  GO (modify and press enter)
    • Enclose id as [[id]].
    • Example [[1331993178]] and hit enter.

    And now remains sending rose to your loved ones.
    So, to do so, make a facebook page, set rose as its page picture, then use page’s id in the same way.
    Example there is a rose page as:
    http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rose/55644998483
    here id will be 55644998483. If you have customized the page URL too,then Id can be find out as pointed out above in GET step.You are now SET. Just GO to fb and have some fun.

    Beside Id, Usernames also work!! i.e. if written as [[pradypradeep]] or [[1331993178]], both will produce same result.
