Missed a birthday this week? Blame Facebook!
With most social networking sites offering birthday reminders, missing a friend's special day has become close to impossible, unless one of you completely abstains from social networks.
A chronologically sorted list of upcoming birthdays comes handy, and Facebook usually provides that. In the last week of the year, however, the sorting doesn't look quite right.
Dear Facebook, January does come before December but only in the same year:
At least you have a good excuse now if you missed a birthday this week.
PS. Have you noticed that Facebook informs you about your friends' birthdays even when they don't share that information on their profiles?
