1. Go to the profile, fan page or event page of your choice

2. Locate the URL of that page. Then find the username or profile ID at the end of the URL
(i.e. “VinDiesel” from http://www.facebook.com/VinDiesel or “droz” from http://www.facebook.com/droz)

3. Place the name or number in double brackets like so [[VinDiesel]]

4. Enter that code into a Facebook Chat or message field. It may not appear at first, but once you have sent it the bracketed letters/numbers will appear as that person, page or event’s profile picture.

While these custom emoticons will display as photos on the web, they will appear as their bracketed string when viewed through a Facebook app. They also cannot be used in status updates, comments or wall posts yet. However, stay tuned, because you know how often Facebook upgrades things and adds new features. Because profile pictures and usernames are public, pulling photos as emoticons technically doesn’t violate privacy, and there’s no way to opt out of having your face used. Have fun making custom Facebook emoticons!

If you never selected the Upgrade option for your Group then your photos and discussions may have been lost. There was also concern as to whether all the members would carry over into the new group or not, but luckily they did. Those that were banned from the groups didn’t make it into the switch either so that’s cool.
One new feature with Facebook groups that many people probably don’t care too much for is that every time a wall post is made or anything is done in the group, members will get an e-mail notification. That may have only lasted for so long though because I think recently Facebook got the message and cut down on all the e-mail notifications. Before then (or still today) users have to go and manually adjust their settings if they don’t want constant Group updates/notifications sent to them. This is done in your settings. Just like everything else on Facebook (i.e. Chat, Privacy, notifications, etc..) you have to manually adjust it or turn it off if you don’t want to be bothered. An easy way to customize who you will and won’t get all the e-mail notifications from is by going to Account > Account Settings > Notifications > Change E-mail settings for individual groups. This should bring you to a list of all your groups and the option to select or unselect boxes.

The Group change also made it so you have to set up a group e-mail since Facebook converted their old inboxes into the new message system. You can only send out mass messages to group members now if the group has less than 250 members. Enjoy your new Groups or if you have a change of heart try creating a Fan Page. Check out the FB Emoticons fan page we converted to once our Group was being “upgraded”.

Chatting with Facebook emoticons is way better than chatting without. Show your personality or the mood you’re in with the little yellow faces. Not every single emoticons is yellow like a smiley though. Discover the rare emoticons that don’t necessarily “smile”. Social networking just got better!

Think of the words you’ll save sometimes when using Facebook chat emoticons in your chat box. Facebook chat sessions become even better with the emoticons. Some of the cooler emoticons you might impress your buddy with are: the curly lips, shark, Chris Putnam, robot, penguin and the angel. All of these and more can be found here. <--- a complete list of Facebook emoticons. They symbols are cool to use also. So don’t fall into the belief that smileys and emoticons are no fun and they aren’t that useful. Just learn some new ones yourself and try them out next time you’re chatting. You’ll see the enjoyment you get once you start using them more often and your chat buddies will be tickled.

During the next semester Zuckerberg started writing code for a new web site in January 2004. In February 2004 he launched “TheFacebook” which was originally located at thefacebook.com. Almost a week after the site was launched three Harvard seniors accused the facebook creator of intentionally misleading them into believing that he would help them build a social network called HarvardConnection.com, while instead he was using their ideas to build a competing product. The seniors complained to the Harvard Crimson, and the newspaper began an investigation. Later those three people filed a lawsuit against Zuckerberg and subsequently settled.

At first the site membership was restricted to Harvard College students, and within the first month over half of the undergrad population was registered. In March it expanded to Standord, Columbia and Yale. Then it opened to other Ivy League schools and gradually most universities in Canada and the U.S. By the summer of 2004 Facebook was incorporated, and the entrepreneur Sean Parker, who had been informally advising Zuckerberg, became the company president. A high school version was launched in September 2005. A year later it was opened to everyone of age 13 and older with a valid e-mail address. Microsoft purchased 1.6% share of Facebook for $240 million in October 2007. In June 2011 Facebook reached one trillion pageviews, making it the most visited web site in the world, and as of July the social networking site has more than 800 million active users.
