There are literally millions of people using Facebook every single day of the year and they are networking with friends, family and also business partners or clients. According to most users, the core business of the experience is to use Facebook to connect with friends and what better way to keep those friendships solid than to be able to have a feature that allows you do to just that. The “Say Thanks” feature is a very powerful way for you to make sure that you can.
Now you can create a custom video to say thanks to your friends for all the years of friendship or for that one time when you needed them the most. The best thing is that you are not limited to create as many personalized videos as you want and this is going to become a much more powerful way to say thank you to people in general.
All you have to do to create a thanks video is go to the facebook.com/thanks link and then you choose a friend from your list. Then Facebook will generate a video with photos and a theme that you can change if you feel like you prefer to have different photos on display for you. Then you can create a personalized message for your friend and once you are don’t with all of that you can click on share and the video will be posted on your timelines as well as the timeline of your friend.
This feature has become so popular that Facebook has already created it for the English, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, French and Turkish networks and we can except for a lot of these videos to be made. This is a similar deal to that Facebook movie feature that came out about a year ago. Hopefully other features that have similar uses will be coming out on the network soon and this is going to allow for more interaction to occur between users.
Facebook knows that including this kind of features is going to promote more use of their network and it could be sooner than we expect until those kinds of new additions become the more common way for people to say thank you and give a thoughtful virtual gift to their friends and family.
We can expect Facebook to be releasing more of these features to make it easier for people to create a nice friendly video for someone they care about.
