Facebook: Making birthday greetings meaningless since 2006

• That's a nice lookin' card right there! ^_^

• I am totally reliant on Facebook for birthday reminders :D

• I always used google calendar, but i'm still stick to call friends for their birthday. I'm so old fashioned

• This year FB reminded me of my own birthday :D!

• if it wasn't for fb, i wouldn't care that it's your birthday!

• wow I forgot my birthday and facebook remined me thanks FB :(

• Do you get notified if someone's birthday is coming up on Google Plus? I have yet to find out.

• I hated the whole birthday thing on Facebook.. last year It was all "happy birthday josh." blah blah..
  this year I took my birth date off.. and I got zero birthday wishes.. not even my Mom remembered...
  which made me realize I have no real friends and technology is my only hope of staying social and "artificially" connected to people..

• I feel you, Josh. I almost did the same this year until I awoke that morning and wanted the meaningless notes and scores of Happy B-Days. I then went and replied to each one, individually, hopefully changing the nature of these virtual friendships.

• lol +Cynthia Coleman! I know what you mean, at some point in one's life - it's just not worth remembering! ;o)

  Hopefully (and I think I read somewhere that Google is working on it), they'll add the Google Calendar to G+.
