Facebook User Numbers? CRAZY Any explanation?
3 comments
It was discovered that you could embed user images for chat based on user id, or reference, a few weeks ago [1]. I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't related to this as well. I haven't seen this before, but I do agree it's pretty interesting.

So who are numbers 1-3? Surely not the Winkelvoss brothers...
Numbers 1-3 don't exist. It's very odd.
If you type the following into a comment box: @ symbol followed by [number:], Facebook automatically replaces the symbols with names.
For example: if you enter @[4:] into a comment box, it will automatically change the comment to read 'Mark Zuckerberg.' Entering @[5:] will render the text 'Chris Hughes' and entering @[6:] will render the text 'Dustin Moskovitz.'
Any explanation for this? Theories? I can't imagine this is intentional on Facebook's part. Pretty interesting, IMO!
