Sometimes you need to point someone to a specific Facebook post. Maybe you’ve shared something important that you want to promote on another platform, or there’s a discussion happening in a post and its comments that you want to email to others. Instead of just sharing your Facebook Page URL and asking someone to find it, it’s much more efficient to send them straight to the post. Although it’s simple to do, it’s not always clear where to find the link just by looking at a post.
Each time you add a new post to your Facebook wall, it will look something like this:
This was a post to our Facebook Page that we recently shared. As you can see, under our name and logo, it says that we shared it “about an hour ago.” That is the Post Timestamp. If you mouseover the timestamp, it will display a hovertip with the full date and time of the post.
Clicking on the timestamp will take you to a page just for that post, with a permanent URL that you can copy and paste. It should look something like this: http://www.facebook.com/TheSocialMediaHat/posts/396537587107966
This will work for any post in anyone’s timeline.
And that’s it! You now know the secret way to link to Facebook Posts.
