Don't know why anyone would actually use features like this. It's very impersonal and insincere
- Splines 10y agoIt makes for a cool demo, but impractical for real-world use. It might be good for some laughs to have bot-only conversations.
- Jtsummers 10y agoPeople already just like photos like that. Or say simply "happy birthday" to everyone when Facebook tells them it's time. It's a small step from this state to a slightly extended set of canned responses to pick from.
- Riseed 10y agoThe "Happy birthday" messages were nice the first time (circa "thefacebook"), but the more I thought about it the more depressing and creepy it became. I hid my birthday, then closed my wall, and then left facebook entirely. Now it's only sincere messages from a close few, which feels like much more.
- ljk 10y agodefinitely agree, on the other hand it's funny to see people who put fake birthdays on facebook actually getting the "happy birthday!" messages on the fake date
- qrendel 10y agoSo are greeting cards but those are huge, for many people receiving one is a requirement for every Hallmark holiday.
- ljk 10y agogood points about greeting cards, but people usually add to greeting cards... right?
