             After emoticons that accompany the “I like”, two other new features coming to Facebook: in order to personalize even more the profile of users, and use that each one makes, the company created by Mark Zuckerberg has decided to add an original and entertaining way (and, indeed, more personal) to wish happy birthday to your friends. Soon, in fact, you can send a 15-second video, which allow you to sing the universal tune that fits in to someone’s birthday, accompanied by small drawings and the words “Happy Birthday”. The new content, for now only available on iOS, Apple’s operating system, will be extended to Android in the coming months.

 To record the video, go to that page in question and, in the function that invites us to wish happy birthday, choose the video option; Once you have registered, you can share on the friend’s profile that birthday. To send greetings to your friends is one of the most popular features among Facebook users and also one of the most appreciated; the company is working to expand it: now you can now transfer the calendar with the dates of birth of friends on Google, iOS, and in Outlook Mail.

 Lately Facebook has focused heavily on the use of the video: is recent, in fact, the idea of ​​celebrating friendship with a video that collects photos of the most significant moments shared between two people; This news coincided with the twelfth birthday of Facebook, born in 2004. But we can not forget the video that Facebook invites us to share to celebrate a holiday or the end of the year (the latter, among the first to be introduced) .

 Another important function on the incoming company of “like” is “Facebook for Nonprofits”, a page specially designed for non-governmental organizations wishing to expand their visibility, promoting awareness campaigns or collect funds for specific initiatives. The goal of the new page, as well as summarize the necessary information on the activity of a specific NGO, aims to create a spirit of community among those who follow a particular petition or who has at heart a precise battle. All shared post will allow users to make a donation (which feature Facebook launched last summer). In this way the various NGOs will receive funds directly from this page without that proponents are required to connect to the web site.
