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 communities 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.
Facebook has reported that
more than 45 million people give birthday wishes to their friends and family on
its platform on a daily basis.
Ever since 2005, Facebook
has been able to bring millions of people closer on their birthdays through
various means. Some of the additions it 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 personalised 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.
