Facebook Animated Image on Notes
Today, one of our moderators on Forum Balikita, SurabayaGetar found a simple way to show animated gif image on facebook wall. Just like the previous method that still works until now, using share button to show animated gif pictures from the old unfiltered jpeg-from-gif images, but this time is by sharing any notes containing animated gif or png images. Facebook doesnt seems to care about this one. They havent made any significant updates to their thumbnail sharing system lately. Instead, they focus on comment system, which we can now tag our friends or pages like on our status updates.
Now, let’s talk about how to share animated picture on facebook through notes, kindly follow these steps carefully :
- go to this link : Facebook Notes
- Click “Write a Note” button on upper right side of the page
- Write the title, then
- put the image on the body part using a usual html img tag, example :
<img src="http://static.int.crazydavinci.net/komen/komen30.jpg" /
> - Change the orange part with your own image url, you can use GIF/PNG animated pictures
- Press the “Publish” button
- Click the share button on your note, or you can also share the notes link to your friends wall
Sample Preview :
Futures Galleria Fan Page
That’s it, pretty simple, isnt it? as you can see, facebook doesnt generate a cached image on their server for the thumbnail of the image on our notes, instead, it shows the original image url. I’m not quite sure how long facebook will let us do this thing. They should fix this thing as soon as possible as we already know how concern facebook about users privacy. With this thing, we can actually make a log script which will log visitor ip, referrer, browser agent, etc.
Please note that the image wont be animated unless you share it. it will only shows the real image on our news feed, home, wall or post.
So, happy sharing animated picture on facebook, till they fix this issue
