My housemate showed me the trick, I wonder what it means (and I can't google it either).

EDIT: Prepend [100:0] with at (@).

@[2:0] results in a link to a Birthday Calender app?

I think it would be helpful if you posted what this actually does. A short description or a screenshot would be great.

I, and I assume a lot of the HN crowd, am not all that keen on randomly entering things when we have no idea what it does. I know it looks, and most probably is, harmless, however who knows what silly vulnerabilities a little bit of apparently harmless code might do to such a complex system as Facebook.

This is a very cool trick in Facebook :) If you put @[[userid]], it will be replaced with the profile pic of that userid! Now that people know this, there are a bunch of profiles which only exist to be convenient as emoticons. http://www.digitspark.com/2011/12/how-to-use-anyones-face-as...

You're right, which is weird (I don't know who he is). When my friend showed me, it's replaced with "Mark Zuckerberg".

I'm getting peoples names instead of pictures.

Try one bracket vs. double brackets?
