Birthdays and facebook!

It is truly amazing how FB had imbedded itself in our lives. Almost all people are now member of this social networking site. Yes. I do get disappointed when my friends, the closest ones, fail to greet me on FB. But it was not that grave a sin. After a while, it would not be such a big deal for me. It wouldn't be fair to base the friendship out of that seemingly shallow reason, right?

I think that a lot of people like to receive a lot of birthday messages on Facebook, because it makes it look as though they are popular with a lot of friends whether they are in real life or not. The thing is, it's a hard habit to get out of because I know myself that I will look at somebody's page when it is their birthday and actually feel sorry for them if they haven't got a large number of messages; which is just silly because they might have lots of cards and messages in real life. Facebook doesn't share my age, because you can set it so that it does not do so.

I've never cared if people knew how old I was and I seriously dont think I ever will care. Its not about how old you are its about how you look. Even at that there isnt much you can do about it so it doesnt matter to me. I am pretty sure you can choose to not let your birthday show on your facebook profile. I think its nice when people wish me happy birthday on facebook but it isnt a big deal if they dont. I sometimes wish others happy birthday and sometimes I dont. Theres at least one birthday every day I'd say so it can be a pain to do it every day.

lol! never was a fan of social networking sites so i find it funny if people feel slighted that they were not greeted in their facebook accounts by their facebook friends. never intend to open a facebook account but i would imagine that there are profile settign there wherein you can hide your birthday and age so i guess that solves one part of your concern. like i said, i don't have a facebook account so not really affected by those facebook peculiarities. cheers!!!

Though I am not as regular as before on Facebook, I do get a lot of greeting on my birthday. At times I felt been on the flip side where everyone of my 320 want to wish me well on this day so I have to spend a great amount of time thanking them all, lol. I would not mind at all if anyone did not greet and or send a wish on Facebook really. I don't get why anyone would mind if they did or did not. Most truly do not even communicate if it were not for the alerts. lol So is it really sincere or another chance to be seen as a do gooder maybe?? As for the age, one can place their age private where no one can know, though I do not on my Primary account as each and everyone listed I do know personally. I do have a secondary account for which I do set to private but only because I do not place absolutely any personal information about me online. Too for me with so many scams out today.

I do know friends like these and today I got an email reminding me it's one of my friends birthdays on FB this week but I have no idea whose they said it was, I can narrow it down to about three possible suspects but I don't think sending random birthday greetings is a great idea either so I will have to actually try to find out where they keep it on your FB page so I can see whose it is as I'm sure it's somewhere on the page as well. My niece got mad because I never sent her Happy Birthday on Myyearbook and I told her happy birthday, treated her to a steak dinner and gave her a $100 Wal*Mart gift card. so people just like to see "Happy Birthday" posted on their wall I guess.

Personally I think that is a Cool feature that Facebook has where it announces to others that someone is having a Birthday and a Great way to keep in touch. I know that there is no way I expect everyone to send me a Birthday wish, or remember and I do not have the time to check and see if everyone did as well. But it is Cool to get Birthday wishes and lets you know others are thinking of you for sure.

It is based on your FB settings. You can hide the birthday setup if you want or if you want others to know your birthday you can include to show the birth year, or else just the date. I have no fuzz if someone greets me or forgot to greet me. Anyway, for me I greet all my friends if Facebook alarms me of someone's birthday on my friends list. I just filter my birthday alarm, I don't include the year of my birth.

It actually doesn't bother me that facebook tells my friends when it is my birthday because I like to see the birthday greetings that I get from all over the world. However, I don't get mad because someone fails to wish me a happy birthday, I am just thrilled that there are people that do make that wish to me. I try to tell my friends all happy birthday when their birthdays roll around, but I do know that there are times that I miss birthdays even when I have the reminders on the right side of my screen.

It's good to know that you're facebook friends remember and greet you on your birthday. And it's uplifting to read their birthday wishes for you. But I don't want to impose on my friends to greet me on my birthday, if they remember, thank you and if not, well it's okay with me. I am not often online with my facebook account so there are times that I miss my friends' birthday also. Anyway, for me there's nothing wrong if fb announce my age online, I'm not hiding it anyway.

Personally I would prefer if no one would greet me on facebook when it comes to my birthday. I have a facebook account especially to keep in touch with my friends and talk to them on occassion. But my schedule is to busy to be bothering with non-sense about birthday greetings, games and updating it every 5 minutes, some of my friends do. I personally don't want everyone knowing when my birthday is, I normally don't do anything for my birthday, but spend it with my family (hubby, mom and kids), since I am the quite type, I prefer everyone not knowing. But then again, that's just me. Other's like people to make a big deal of it.

Actually i don't mind posting my date of birth on facebook, not the year of my birth though lol anyway I feel glad when people greet me. I have some friends on facebook back from the days but we don't talk much. But when I see them greet me on my birthday, that really brightens up my day, regardless of whether they were doing it just for formality. And I don't really mind if people don't wish me but if it's one of my close friend who didn't, that would hurt me.

I have friends on mine who will actually un-friend me if I don't say happy birthday to them...what they don't understand is that I have so many friends on my Facebook, it's just about impossible to greet them all. Especially when a lot of them have the same birthday. I personally don't even show my birthday on my Facebook because I want to see how many people actually know it without having to be told.

age is a secret of a women so don't ask when which year i born, birth date can give you, so if u want just greet me anywhere, msn, msg, sms, email also can i don't mind

Well i won't mind and would perfectly understand friends who forgot to greet of online. I mean i do not expect them all to blog my wall with the same greetings wishing of a happy birthday besides we all know many still are not always online like most of us are. Haha. I actually would appreciate friends who would greet of on my phone and not just in the internet. It feels less personal greeting you online like that, Whereas when they make an effort to greet wolf and try to chat a bit over the phone.

And those are some of the reasons why I am not on Facebook. announce my age online? You have got to be kidding! and no, I would not be offended.

I guess if my husband, family, or my best friend forget to greet me personally, or thru email, or greeting card, then I am sure to be upset by it. It doesn't have to be on facebook. I don't mind too if my age is splattered on facebook or anywhere. It's only a number.
