Facebook has so taken over the birthday market, I often neglect to cross-post birthday wishes on twitter or here on the LoT. Facebook is the defacto for birthdays and so much more.
It's revolutionized the sympathy industry. I was truly moved and aided by the flood of sympathy posts I got when my mom died. I have so many facebook friends, I forgot there's not 100% overlap and was surprised when a few of my twitter pals and LoTmates didn't know my mother passed away.
Regardless, I'm glad we don't have to rely on the mails for condolence cards. They arrive after they are most needed, imo. Facebook was perfect.
In fact, the only bad thing about it is its too ubiquitous. I have to restrain myself sometimes because family members are on there, too.
