Hey Hubzers!

Facebook chat may not be your preferred method of communication especially since the arrival of the groovy Google+ Hangout that allows you to video chat with more than one person (Facebook has group chat but no video conferencing option– I smell an update!).

Nevertheless I just found out that you can insert a profile picture into Facebook chat.

It’s the emoticon for the sophisticated Facebooker that desires to articulate a moment with more than a smiley face or a quirky tongue face (I still don’t fully understand what “:p” means).

LOOK:

Pinkies-up! Here is how to do it:

Take the profile id (you can find this at the end of a profile page’s URL which will appear as either a name or code) of your friend or brand of choice…

…and sandwich this profile id with double brackets…

…and Voilà! It’s alive!

If he were online I’m sure there would be an “ooo” or an “awe” somewhere in there.

If you are on the receiving end of these little images and have a hard time figuring out what or who it is, just hover your mouse over and the bracketed profile ID.

LIGHT BULB: It would be a great update if  Facebook had these images linking to profiles—a girl can dream.

If you are really interested in this gimmick you can it to the next level and create profile pages that serve the sole purpose of keeping your profile image arsenal stocked.

Here are a few popular ID’s:

•  Mark Zuckerberg: [[Zuck]]
• Rage Face: [[FUUUOFFICIAL]]
• Troll Face: [[171108522930776]]
• LOL Face: [[168456309878025]]
• Yao Ming: [[218595638164996]]
