I was sitting on a conversation with a couple of friends when one said that she got miffed by the other because she did not greet her a happy birthday on Facebook. The other said that she didn't have to because she could just tell her personally.

They were just kidding around and laughing about it, but I could really tell that the first friend was really disappointed. The other friend even teased her that the only reason she wanted to be greeted by the other, is so that all her Facebook friends could also greet her!

So here goes my rant about FB!

Do we really need to see our birthdays announced on Facebook? Would you feel offended if some friends forget to greet you online? I would have thought that some people didn't want everybody to know that they are celebrating 'another' birthday. Do you know any friends like these?
 
i usually want to say many many happy returns of the day for my family members only
 
Fb is really good to remember a birthday ! x) We still don't know the birthday of our friends ^^
 
yes i agree with you my friend face book is very good thing that remember us birthday of our friend.
 
Facebook came up with different settings so if someone doesn't want his birthday to be known to everybody, just adjust the settings. Also I don't have a friend who feels hurt when they are not greeted on FB. I also won't feel bad if I'm not greeted on FB on my birthday, that's alright. I prefer to be greeted personally.
 
Personally i would prefer if my close friends called me to greet me instead of sending me greetings on FB. But then FB is helping us by reminding us our friends birthday so i would not mind a wish on my wall. So a greeting is better than no greetings at all :)

I myself, won't want everybody to know I am celebrating yet another additional year in my age that's why i did not make my birthday date visible in my facebook profile. My friends and love ones know my birthday so there's no need of announcing it to every body . My virtual friends in facebook need not to greet me at all because I don't celebrate my birthday!
 
I have two accounts in face book one for family, relatives and close friends another one for online works...My family people used to wish me on my birthday..
