One of the smartest things Facebook ever did was ask people their birthdays. I remember when I first went on the FB and people found me…I would pay attention and leave a Wall Post when “the ‘Book” said someone was celebrating a birthday.
That had to stop after about the first 1,000 friends. Sorry if you miss that, early-Paul-adapters.
Stats say Facebook has more than 800 million active users. That means, what, 2 million Facebookers are celebrating every day? That’s a lot of page views. The average user has 130 friends, so I suppose you’re getting nagged about 2 or 3 times a week to wish someone well.
A lot of people get nagged about me on December 9th. I appreciate all the shout outs. My Mom would be disappointed that I’m not individually acknowledging almost a thousand notes. But I really, really, really do read (and appreciate) everything I get on any given day. Who wouldn’t appreciate this?:
Thanks all. You’re the gift that keeps on giving.
