Facebook has reported that more than 45
million people give birthday wishes to their friends and family on
its platform on a daily basis.
Facebook has played a huge part in the
way people celebrate their birthdays since its inception, and to
ensure that the over 2 billion strong community are really able to
celebrate the way they want on their special days, it has announced
two new birthday experiences that will make birthday celebrations
more meaningful than ever.
Ever since 2005, Facebook has been able
to bring millions of people closer on their birthdays through various
means. Some of the additions Facebook has added to its platform-over
the years to ensure a great experience for members of its community
include the ability to post on friends’ timelines, plan birthday
parties and create birthday posts and videos.
With the addition of the Birthday
Fundraiser, you will be notified by Facebook two weeks before your
birthday-in your newsfeed-and you can do a fundraising which will be
dedicated to a charitable cause. This isn’t to raise money for a
birthday party, but rather it is to raise money for any of the
750,000 US-based non-profits on Facebook. This option is only
available in the United States for now.
In addition to this, Facebook also
announced the addition of personalized Birthday Videos for your top
friends. This video will feature a photo of you and your friend along
with a colourful picture frame, a delightful song, and a stylish
transition. This video can be shared on your timeline, gifted to your
friends and used in creating a more engaging, delightful and
enjoyable experience for them on their special day.
Birthdays on Facebook are a celebration
of love, family, and friendship and with these new additions, the
variety of experiences that make celebrating birthdays on the
platform fun and interesting has surely increased.
