One of the best things about facebook is birthday reminder. How often do we remember birthdays? How many birthdays can we remember? Well, not a problem if you have facebook.
The cool thing is that you got so many people saying "happy birthday" to you, which makes you think that maybe some of them do actually remember your birthday, not just saying "happy birthday" because they have seen the facebook birthday reminder. This makes you feel like you have been remembered by somebody.
Who cares if it's not true. Maybe people left message on your wall only because they have seen your name in the birthday list. Some of them you can obviously tell, like the one that say "happy birthday" a day or two before the actual birthday. That's because facebook tells you about birthdays that are coming up in the next few days as well. To avoid this weird feeling of "thanks facebook for reminding me", I only post on the birthday person's wall on the day. Just covering up the truth.
Too bad. Not sincere enough.
For people I really really remember their birthdays, I would buy a present, or have a dinner, or have a party, or send an sms message, unless they are not in New Zealand. Writing on the person's wall...it's just not good enough.
