Facebook celebrating its users’ friendships for its birthday

Now, if you didn’t get the interface, you may try accessing it at Friends Day. According to the company over the past five years, the degrees of separation on the platform have decreased to 3.57 degrees, down from 3.74 degrees in 2011.

“We’re celebrating friendship on Facebook’s 12th birthday, so we made you this video about you and your friends”, the post reads. They will be available by midday on February 4, the 12 birthday of the social media network, and people are encouraged to share with hashtag #FriendsDay.

And lastly, what is Friends Day without new sticker packs? Most of those don’t happen until the summer, so if you want to celebrate friendship right now heading over the Facebook is probably your best bet. “We felt like the world was making it too much about us and it’s not about us”, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said at a Friend’s Day event earlier this week at the company’s headquarters.

Each video gives the user a run down of important moment with their friends they shared online.

Most Facebook users should start seeing the videos at the top of their Facebook feeds by noon.

That means that every random stranger on the social network knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows half of a person who knows you.

More commonly known as the “6 degrees of separation”, it is a theory indicating that everyone is connected by 6 or fewer people to another person.

To help the community celebrate the importance of friendship, Facebook is delivering a personalized Friends Day video to millions of people around the world.

Facebook’s Data Science team said that in 2016 people’s average “degrees of separation” number is 3.57.

You can see your “degrees of separation” rating on Facebook’s Research page. They included GirlCrew, a Facebook group created in Dublin (it’s now in 40 cities) that empowers women to find friends and organize events in their area.
