Facebook gives its more than 1.19 billion users worldwide a reason to
shed some happy tears with its "A Look Back" project. The biggest
social Network launched the project on its 10th anniversary (February 4)
to mark its successful decade, and most of all, to thank its users
across the world. As the name suggests, Look Back makes users relive
their Facebook journey through a 62-second video montage of their most
liked photos, their most shared posts and their life's important
chapters like marriage, first child, first pet and much more. Is it the
most incredible way of connecting with users and thanking them? Yes,
Mark Zuckerberg, we all feel very very special.
Facebook has touched our lives in many ways in the past decade -
it made us connect with that nerdy chick from school who, by the way,
has evolved into a total swan and now has at least 15735634 awesome
selfies, it gave the dictionary 'selfie', it brought broken-down joint
families together - even our 60-year-old aunts use Facebook and also
turned most of us into photographers and thinkers - all those sunsets
and Oscar Wilde quotes as status updates, remember?
Honestly, we tried real hard to come up with some criticism about
A Look Back, it is easier to trash a new idea than to sing a song in
its praise, but couldn't. A Look Back is meant to be a sentimental
journey. And, that, it is. It lets users watch a personalised movie or
view a collection of their photos or read a "Thank You" card from the
company, depending on how much content a user has posted on his or her
FB page.
For those who have already seen their Look Back know exactly what
it does to you and those who haven't, please be prepared for
goose-flesh.
