Question

I’m trying to publish a link to the user’s wall on Facebook after he has already logged in using the new Facebook iOS SDK.

I want the link to behave as if the user posted it from his account. For example, if I post this link on my Facebook wall: http://www.apple.com/, I won’t see the link. What I’ll see is an image, a caption with the actual url and a short description. But when I publish this same link from my app, all I see is the link itself.

How can I publish this url through my app so that what will eventually appear on the user’s wall is the formatted message as it would appear if he would have posted it from his account on the pc, and not just the link itself as a string?

Thanks,
