Like there wouldn’t be enough birthday reminder websites on the Internet, Facebook is trying to get their piece, too. For those using the service, it does sound like a good idea to have everything together rather than trying to find birthday alert services to do the same job.
But, if you ask me if they’ll get a good portion of the slice, I think they won’t.
Go into your account, check out the Facebook section and then click on Show More. Here you’ll find the “Has a birthday coming up” box that you can select. They’ll send you an email each time your friends have birthdays coming up. You’ll forget a birthday ever again, they say.
However, what I don’t get is why build their own, when there were many applications that did exactly the same.
