Birthday reminder on FACEBOOK

Do you notice your friends birthday on facebook? I think everybody does! But what I don't understand is that when they say "HEY, thanks for remembering my BDAY! That is so nice of you!" Oh man! Don't they know that it is displayed on their friends notifications?! I am sure they know it, because they see their friends bdays too! I just find it weird for them thanking for remembering when infact you don't have to remember it anyway, just log in to your facebook account and there it is.

Yes, it is there. But not everybody is paying attention or effort to greet you.I guess,that "thank you for remembering" thing is a way of saying "thank you you have noticed and made an effort to greet me".:) Recently, I can not see birthday reminders in my page. And I have been missing alot of my friends' birthdays...:(

this is the reason why facebook is called a social site, for friends and all activities of friendship and that's includes remembering your friend's big day. If you don't want to greet a friend who;s celebrating his Bday,then ignore the reminder,it that's simple it won't cost anyone a penny!

Of course, I do notice that.. I just had my birthday yesterday and may people greeted me, my friends because I know it had been posted in their wall. Well, It is a helpful tool for us to greet old friends and new friends. I'm sure it would make a difference on their big day and it would made them smile.

A typical malady on too much dependence on gadgets. Of course, when you log into any of these social networking sites, you can see the notification regarding anniversaries falling within a day or two. If you do really remember without reminders, it is great and worth thanking. And if you do log in to a site just to see if anybody is celebrating something and do convey the wishes, then this is great too. But if you accidentally find about somebody's birthday or some anniversary, then you do not deserve appreciation at all.

I do, and when someone's birthday comes up I try to send them a "Happy Birthday" message on the day of their birthday.

The reply may be either of curtsy. Friend reciprocates for our wishes not exactly for remembering their birthdays. I find it okay if they thank for remembering also. Sometime when I don't get the thank you reply i do sulk for not acknowledging it.

Hi, I do notice that there is a Birthday NOte on my facebook webpage and I don't really bother than much. Sometimes, I will write at my friend's wall to wish them Happy birthday when I am free to do it. Or else, I just can't be bother about it. However, it is a good remarks , as sometimes, we might forget our friend birthday and with these remarks available in facebook,it reminds us not to forget wish our friends HAppy Birthday on their BIG DAY.

I haven't been told that after greeting somebody. Maybe they're just enthusiastic cuz, after all, it's their birthday.

I think everyone is aware about the birthday reminders in facebook.., Maybe what they meant by "thanks for remembering" is the fact that you dropped by their page to greet them..=)

Most of mine don't thank me for remembering, they thank everyone for the Birthday wishes. I am glad most of my friends have their Birthdays on their profiles, because its nice to have a reminder.
