Facebook Profile Photostream Hack

Hot Trending Post - Whats New on New Facebook Page

A week ago Facebook launched its New Profile Page and is still on its rolling out stage. Photostream is a new feature added up to this revamp; a set of the five most recent photos in which you’ve been tagged, prominently displayed at the top of your profile. You can activate it here if you haven’t yet, but here’s how it looks:

The photostream, also known as profile photo bar, has been added to show your friends what you’ve been up to lately. If some of these tagged photos bother you, you can always hide them by clicking the small “x” button in the top right corner of each picture. Be aware that hiding a photo from the stream only removes it from your profile page, but not from your “Photos of you” page. Nor does it untag you.

While the majority of  users will enjoy this new feature and leave it just the way it is, we wouldn’t be mostviralmedia.com if we didn’t want to mess with it. So here’s what we did first thing when the new profiles went live:

Here are the instructions to execute the photo tag profilestream hack:

• Fire up your favorite image editor (this can be GIMP, Adobe Photoshop, or anything a slightly more advanced than MS Paint).

• Load an image of your choice (our site header was perfect for the job, because it was a wide rectangle).

• Resize its dimensions to 485 by 68 pixels. (you might want to crop some unnecessary bits to make it look better)

• Now cut or crop the image into 5 pieces of 97 by 68 pixels each and save them (obviously, you can achieve this effect with 4, 3 or even just 2 images as well).

• Upload the five pieces to a Facebook album and start tagging yourself in reverse order. That means the part of the image that’s supposed to appear FIRST, should be tagged LAST. And you should start with the right end of the cut-up image. We’ve learned that it’s more accurate to tag yourself while viewing the album normally, instead of in Edit Album mode.

• If everything went well, you’ll have a new, awesome Facebook profile page header!

Here is bit more easier version –

All you need to do is visit the Facebook App, Submit a picture of yours, upload it and you will instantly get your pictures cropped!! and then follow the above instructions, to get the cropped pictures in proper positions!!

   Works great, but I’m wondering if you have to re-do it everytime you get tagged in another photo..
