  • Mark Zuckerberg Gets All Sappy and Stuff on Facebook

    Mark Zuckerberg Gets All Sappy and Stuff on Facebook

    Earlier this week, Facebook got their priorities straight and launched a new feature called ‘Say Thanks’. The tool lets users create and customize virtual “Thanks you” cards to friends – not really thank you for helping me move cards, but more like thank you for being my bro, bro cards. It’s all really saccharin and shit.

    Ever the self-promoter, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg decided to demonstrate the usefulness of his company’s new plaything by posting a sweet little tribute to his wife, Priscilla Chan.

    “I met an amazing girl on this day exactly 11 years ago. Priscilla, thank you for keeping me grounded, and for helping me keep my sense of wonder about the world as we grow together,” said Zuck in the post. Below is his personal ‘Say Thanks’ video for him and his wife.

    Zuckerberg and Chan married in May of 2012, the weekend after Facebook went public. The two began dating in 2003 at Harvard, after meeting at a fraternity party during Zuck’s sophomore year. Chan is a doctor.

  • Facebook Launches Personalized ‘Say Thanks’ Video Cards

    Facebook announced the launch of a new video card feature called “Say Thanks,” which lets you do exactly that. It’s a way of creating personalized video cards for your friends.

    You can do this by going to facebook.com/thanks, and choosing a friend. Facebook will generate a preview of the video, and you can select different themes, and edit photos, and posts that “represent your friendship”.

    Facebook says, “Millions of people use Facebook every day to connect with the people and things that matter to them most. Your friends are at the core of your Facebook experience, and we are always looking for new ways to help you celebrate those friendships.”

    “When you’re satisfied with the video, click ‘Share’ — you will have the option of writing a personalized message before posting,” it explains. “The video will post on your Timeline and your friend will be tagged, so it will show up on their Timeline as well.”

    The feature is rolling out on both desktop and mobile in English, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Turkish.

    Now, if they’d just deliver on the more important features they’ve announced in the past.
