  • Genius: Facebook Launches ‘On This Day’ Feature

    Finally Facebook is releasing its ‘On This Day’ feature. It’s similar to TimeHop, but it means you won’t have to have another unnecessary app on your phone. Wonderful!

    Facebook has actually been testing On This Day for a few years now, and are now happy to release it to the public.

    Starting today, when users visit Facebook on the web or on their phones, they’ll get an option to view the On This Day page (or you can go to the page directly, but it hasn’t rolled out to everyone just yet). From there, you’ll see the feed of content you posted in years past and have the option to share specific posts with your friends — but by default, only an individual user can see their On This Day feed.

    And don’t despair! The guys at FB are taking every precaution to make sure you are not reminded of your dead pet or heinous ex of yesteryear.

    For example, if you dutifully filled out your relationship status with your partner’s info, Facebook will avoid showing you posts with that person in them if you changed your relationship status with them later. It’ll also try to avoid showing you posts tagged with people who may have died in the past year, as well.

    That’s ridiculously thoughtful.
