Facebook declares ‘Friends Day’, the internet hates it

The video titled “Friends Day Video” was launched as Facebook crossed 1.5 billion monthly active users and beat all revenue forecasts by posting a record fourth-quarter results for 2015. Some of that leads to really cool data points, like the degree of separation, and some of it leads to the interactive Friends Day videos you won’t be able to escape this week.

You can edit the videos yourself as well as sharing for all your friends to see.

With its personalized Friends Day video, a stitched together film will piece together special moments between you and your…well…friends.

Facebook is marking its 12th birthday by creating personalised videos for all its users, sending them on a trip down memory lane on what it is calling “Friends Day”.

Zuckerberg on a Facebook post thanked the social network’s users for becoming a part of the community.

Facebook has also taken time to remind its users that its user base has increased by more than twofold over the past four years.

Due to an increase in Facebook users, the company says people have grown more interconnected, thus shortening the distance between people in the world. When your video appears on someone else’s Timeline, they can watch it, and even make their own.

Its size has doubled from 750 million to more than 1.59 billion users since 2011, which contradicts the people who claim Facebook is no longer cool for kids. Facebook is also releasing two sticker packs, free to download, called “Best Friends” and “Friendship”.

Facebook also hosted an event at its Menlo Park headquarters, where they invited 18 members of the social network’s community to tell stories of their friendships.
