Facebook and Birthdays

Birthdays and the Facebook make an excellent match. Being that it was my birthday yesterday (25th), the wall in my profile was decorated with birthday wishes from friends from all over the country. The nice thing about the Facebook is when you login it shows you all upcoming birthdays for people you're marked as "friends" with. This is a purely voluntary process to give away your birthday, but when you do all your friends are updated when it becomes close. For Janesville-ites on the Facebook it's become more or less tradition to leave messages on friend's walls when their birthday rolls around. Now this does encourage laziness in remembering birthdays even more than writing on your calendar does, I'm well aware. This however is a great use of social networking to easily remind your friends that it's your birthday, effortlessly. It's nice to get messages on your birthday, they make you feel good.
