How to Setup Facebook App ID to Update Status Via Your Name, Website Url or Anything

Did you notice when some people or owner of pages leave a status on Facebook, they have their own custom ‘posted via..’ display together at the bottom of the status. This custom status usually will show where the status was posted from and seems to be fixed according to the device they log the status in. For example, when you update your Facebook Status from your Android, iPhone, Blackberry, or even from your mobile web browser, and you will see the device name reflected on your status, like ‘posted via Blackberry’ and so on.

Let’s take this up a notch and get our statuses posted ‘via our name’ or ‘via our website url’, shall we? All it takes is a little trick.

http://www.facebook.com

You can also replace the www.facebook.com with a link to your website/blog. Not compulsory to change the Facebook Feed dialog redirect_uri though. 2. Copy and paste in your browser address bar. Hit the “Enter” or “OK” button. You should see something like this:
