Facebook memories

Facebook has taken to randomly reminding you of what you posted a year (or a few years) ago. Today it reminded me that I have been Facebook friends with a colleague for 2 years!


This was posted together with a couple of photos. I decided to share this because they were teambuilding photos, nice ones that I had posted on this blog as well.

But then I suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with the timestamp.


In 15 hours?

Now I'm guessing that we became Facebook friends not on the 17th (which is today), but on the 18th. So Facebook actually reminded me a day earlier to post this, so that my friends could see it on their news feed the next day. Hmm... talk about planning ahead!

As of now, I can see it on my timeline, but I don't think it's showing up on the news feed yet. Someone I tagged in the comments was also able to see it, so I think people can see it if they actually come to my profile page. However, it probably has not been "broadcast" to the public!

Hehe, that was quite an investigation into the workings of Facebook, huh? They make things too complicated; that's why it was necessary!
