    From 2004:

    <a href="aim:GoIm?screenname=myscreenname&message=hello">x</a>

    @satjot - can "they" detect what's installed on your smartphone? If yes, I can see how deep-linking would be a great feature for apps that have high value repeat purchases.

    Is there any functional deeplinking comparable to:

        twitter://post?message=hello%world
    in the current Facebook app? Lots of older posts indicate fb://publish/?text=helloworld once worked, but it doesn't seem to any longer.

    Why is this called "deep" linking? What makes it deep?
