- Now we have to copy and paste this specific URL in the address bar of your browser: http://www.facebook.com/connect/prompt_feed.php?api_key=2231777543&message = @ [FacebookID : 0: Comment ]
- You should first substitute “FacebookID” with the ID, and “Comment” with a comment/linked text that you want to do.
- In the box you have now (see picture) we must write our status update, and tag the specific user. Instead of the simple spiral + name, write: @ [Facebook ID: 0: NAMEOFTAGGED]where “FacebookID” goes back replaced with the number found before and “NAMEOFTAGGED” with the first or last name of the user to add tags.
