Facebook Birthdays Made App-Easy
Scenario: It’s your birthday. When you set up your Facebook page, you approved the publication of your birth date so that all your friends could see how awesome you are for surviving another year. With today being your special day, you receive well wishes from everyone on your friends list. How do you thank them all? Do you respond comment by comment to make sure that everyone knows how grateful you are? Do you post a generic message that day or the next giving a big thank you to all your friends who posted, even though they may not see that message?
Maybe it’s not a dilemma most even think about, but when your phone blows up every hour on the lovely day of your birth, you may wish you never advertised the second you graced this world. How do you avoid this annoyance? Use a Facebook app to solve the birthday quandary for you!
The Say Thankyou application was developed to revolutionize thanking. It sounds odd, but the more technology takes over the world, the more we need to be on top of our social graces. It’s all about networking! Tick off the wrong person on social media and you can start an all-out war or at the very least, lose an important connection.
To use the Say Thankyou application, find them on Facebook with a simple search for that name. Then, allow the app to do its work by approving it. Confirm your birthday and choose how you want to thank your friends—comment on the birthday wishes, like the birthday wishes, do both at the same time, or post back to each friend’s wall. Enter the thank you comment you wish to use, select the friends you’d like to thank, and you’re all done. Everyone will get a thank you separately.
Seems simple enough, and it is. Give it a try next time you are going to spend the day blowing out candles. Facebook isn’t going anywhere, and with more and more people designing fun apps, it’s important to check them out. There always is a gem in a mine…it’s up to you to find it!
