We’ve discovered some Facebook Chat secrets! Thought you had a limited number of emoticons on Facebook? Guess again. Take a look at our chart and spice up your conversations.
Did you know that any image that has been uploaded to Facebook and made visible to public can be converted into an emoticon? Each image has its own unique ID number, which you can then copy and paste into these [[]]
brackets. The ID is in the URL.
For example, a photo with this URL: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151451122089744
has the ID: 10151451122089744
.
Simply place the ID number between the brackets and you can send a miniature image to the person you are chatting with. There are endless possibilities!
