It was December of 2011, and i started the facebook-page “Chat Meme Codes” where i asked people if they wanted to help me make some large facebook chat smileys…
Together, we made several facebook-pages, and used individual pieces of a picture as the facebook-pages profile pictures.
I used this webpage to split the pictures into smaller pieces: http://www.htmlkit.com/services/is/
This resulted in some awesome jigsaw puzzles that can be downloaded from the chat-codes library: https://turbolego.github.io/turbolego.com//L.txt
Here’s how it works:
Every facebook-page (and every album photo) has their own individual code or name.
For example, here’s 4 pages that i used to make a 2×2 picture of the “awesome smiley”:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Awesome-smiley-44/290126041033203
The codes here are:
1×2: 295770667126779
2×2: 129097450550741
2×1: 225005317576273
2×2: 290126041033203
In order to display these pieces in the facebook chat, you have to put the codes in brackets like this:
[[295770667126779]] [[129097450550741]]
[[225005317576273]] [[290126041033203]]
The result:
My facebook page has enough users to get a name (and not a code):
If you place a page, group or person’s name in brackets, you will get their current profile picture in the chat:

The whole process of making the “awesome smiley” can be seen on youtube as a video-tutorial:
