I find the lack of humility in this page fascinating. Even though it's my account and my life, I have no control over what my top 20 moments are. The concept is great, but the tone (Facebook assuming authority) definitely rubs me the wrong way.
- sharkweek 14y agoI'm glad that Facebook thought my attending a Baltimore Orioles game was more important than me getting married this year. I suppose though it's based heavily around social signals - which means apparently my friends thought me attending an Orioles game was more important than my marriage.
- arjunnarayan 14y agoIt's probably because the friends of yours that cared about your marriage probably showed up to the marriage in person. But clicking likes maximizes around sports games (especially if you have friends who are also Orioles fans). It's the same thing with my friends: My 5 closest friends don't even register on my facebook feed, because I talk to them regularly in person and share experiences with them. The more intimate private conversations. It's the next 50 that show up constantly in facebook, hitting like ex post facto.
- mccolin 14y agoYear In Review actually takes care to highlight photos and posts you have highlighted on your profile/Timeline. If you'd highlighted posts or photos throughout the year, they'd have a higher likelihood of being in the top moments. I really enjoyed how it was frictionless to get an interesting view of my year.
- GBKS 14y agoGood to hear. 3 posts in my review were links to random funny websites related to the presidential election. Clearly not what I would have chosen as personal moments of 2012. Since I'm not that active on FB, it might just not have had enough data to work with.
