Was never a heavy user or updater but deleted my account about 6 months ago.

Sensational decision.

It's been a great year. Thanks for being a part of it.

Just posting it again to highlight how frequent this status is appearing on the feed.

Over Christmas Facebook updated me with who got engaged or who received a selfie stick.

Glad its not just me that noticed an unusually large number of Christmas engagements this year

This article really pisses me off.

"I didn't go looking for grief this afternoon, but it found me anyway, and I have designers and programmers to thank for it," he wrote on his personal blog.

No-one is forcing you to post your 'year in review'. You have the option of previewing your 'year in review' and editing it before posting it (voluntarily).

If you don't want these sorts of things to re-surface on facebook then don't post it? Easy solution.

You're missing the point.

It is automatically appearing on everyone's news feed. And the picture of his daughter was the default image he was confronted with. He had no choice.

You can choose to put it on your newsfeed though.

You can choose to publish it.

You can't choose if Facebook automatically slap it on your own feed for you to see.

You're welcome.

So many pictures of Christmas dinner. Yeah, we had one of those too.

I don't mind seeing pictures from close friends posting about their Christmas day, sharing things like this is what Facebook is for. I wouldn't bother putting a picture up, but I can see why others do.

I really don't get your point here... nobody besides yourself has to see it if that's what you choose to do

But you had to look to do your own though. He would've had to look through a friends first, then click on the 'create your own' at the bottom of said friend's post. He chose to take a look at his own, he would've known what he posted during the year (particularly about his daughter), so he should've been prepared that she may have appeared on it when he chose to do his own.

"I am not start shit with anyone and i love him very much i am not gonna lose because of uses"

Is this the best sentence in the history of the internet?

I'm impressed with her spelling of 'lose'.

Puts her in front of half of Bigfooty.

Hanging crap on your mates about their mum will be so easy in 10 years time when all you have to do is look up their fb pics of mumsy skankin' it up at big day out/stereosonic.

Or just laugh at their Tatts.

Even funnier when they are grannies

No.

Facebook put it there for him upon no action of his own. He logged in, it was there.

Then he's possibly making that up.

When I did mine I had to click on a friends, then click down the bottom to create my own. If he followed the same process I did, then he would've had plenty of warning.

 

[Cruyff14]

Well I assume it's the case, while I did not publish one, mine appeared at the top of my own feed with the option for me to share it.

 

[Mkcaptain]

Mine came up at the top of my feed without me doing anything to prompt it

 

[Goats]

More bogan fights please.

 

[Cruyff14]

Which is what I've been saying, yet people can't seem to grasp this.

 

[The Passenger]

I also had that year in review thing come up on mine without me doing anything. Even after I clicked "I don't want to see this" it was there the next time I logged in.

Not really sure what it achieves.
