Emoticons no longer have to be anonymous smiley faces representing simple emotions. Facebook Chat now lets you use the profile picture of any user, official Page, or event on the service as an emoticon. That means you can make one out of your best friend, Chuck Norris, Justin Bieber, Barack Obama or anyone else. This opens up a whole new way to express complex emotions. Here’s how to do it:
1. Go to any profile, official Page, or event that you want to use as an emoticon.
2. Look at the URL. Find the username or profile ID at the end of the URL such as “VinDiesel” from
http://www.facebook.com/VinDiesel, “JoshConstine”, “cocacola”, or “45197362282″
3. Place that name or number in double brackets like [[VinDiesel]]
4. Enter that into a Facebook Chat or Message field. When you send it, the bracketed number or
letters will appear as that person, Page, or event’s current profile picture.
