After the introduction of
Facebook ' username , which is the function that allows everyone to have a user name on Facebook and a unique URL,now finding the user ID is not immediate.
For profiles that have not yet chosen a nickname finding the ID is a breeze, you can just look up the URL in the address bar of your browser when you visit their profile. Example:
http://facebook.com/profile.php?= 73322363
In this case the number at the end, 73322363 is the ID that identifies that user. But if the user has chosen a username,example:
http://facebook.com/pinco.pallino
To find the user ID you can not look at the profile URL.
Now to illustrate and explain
some ways to find the user ID.The examples are based on the user we all know know on Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg,whose ID is the No. 4.
Method No. 1 - from photos
Visit the Photo tab of the user,and clicking on one of his albums (such as the profile picture) you will notice that the
URL at the top will look like this:
http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?
set=a.529237716211.2047231. 4
The first two numbers identify the link at the end of the album, the last (after the
point) identifies the user!
The user ID is 4, that of Mark.
Method No. 2 - by info
Visiting the information tab of your profile, if you notice a link "More" - hover the mouse over it and copy the URL. Here it is for our example:
http://www.facebook.com/ajax/profile/show_more.php?section_id=1003&profile_id=4&offset=5
As you notice the ID is clearly
visible.
Method # 3 - from updates
If the person has activated
receive updates on the right
side column you will see which friends receive updates.Rolling the mouse over it again will show the URL that contains the
user ID:
http://www.facebook.com/browse/friended_followers_of/?profile_id = 4
Method # 4 - via the
"Message"
If you receive messages, try to send a message. the URL looks like this:
http://www.facebook.com/
messages/4
Method # 5 - report link /
block
Similar to the previous method,the link that points to block is like this:
http://www.facebook.com/ajax/report/social.php?
content_type=0&cid=4&rid=4& h=AfgHV0rX...
Where you can see the id = 4.
These are just some of the
methods to find the ID of a
user. Almost certain, using one of the methods outlined here will be able.
