title: Hotlinking photos from Facebook - an "ok" practice?
body: <p>For my current website project, I wanted to off-load some bandwidth as well as data management to facebook - by this I mean:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Use a public Facebook page as 3rd party host for images to use for our website (screenshots, info-graphics, etc) , thereby offloading GUI/programming work for uploading , organizing and managing photos. </p></li>
  <li><p>directly hotlink images from facebook (no need to use graph api) to our site thereby minimizing bandwidth consumption on our shared hosting account.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>So i was wondering if this was an acceptible practice? I honestly am thinking this is a good idea..</p>
  
  <p>It just require a bit more work for my site admins as, after uploading to facebook the image, they would have to right click the image and Copy the image link 
  eg. 
  <a href="http://http//fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/10392502_885309924834069_6267758702284929640_n.jpg?oh=4696666945ebb7da0a1347c072cbb49c&amp;oe=55507B7F&amp;__gda__=1432842446_bdf59e5d4287fcd51a0016a40c13ce93" rel="nofollow"><code>http//fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/10392502_885309924834069_6267758702284929640_n.jpg?oh=4696666945ebb7da0a1347c072cbb49c&amp;oe=55507B7F&amp;__gda__=1432842446_bdf59e5d4287fcd51a0016a40c13ce93</code></a></p>
  
  <p>and paste it into our website's image fields as necessary</p>
  
  <p>I actually tested this and it seems to work pretty well too. I'm actually lovin it. (a whole lot less bandwidth consumption)</p>
  
  <p>So i'm just wondering what you guys think of this practice? </p>
