I find it a bit funny that you can't share your video on Facebook.
Indeed. I still tried to share the page, to encourage friends to look at theirs, but there's not thumbnail of the link or any description!
Facebook's Lookback

Re: Facebook's Lookback
#32This is a lot like Google's auto-awesome videos they came out with last year. On New Year's Eve I got a push notification from Google+ on my Android phone that said something like "Happy New Year!" and when I touched it I got a video that showed an auto-curated video of stuff that happened in 2013 based on my videos and pictures that auto-upload to G+. Pretty well done -- I showed it to my family and they were impressed.
After I saw the version they made for me, it let me pick the background music and re-rendered it to match the music I picked.

#33That is so corny.

#34As someone who doesn't participate in memes, uploads a fair number of photos, and has been consistently on Facebook since 2006, my Lookback video was actually pretty awesome. The music matched the flow of the content, and even the mood of the content.
I like this. Good job, Facebook team.

#35Does anyone have any information regarding the logistics of rendering 800+ million videos like this for each user on Facebook? I'm pretty sure it's not rendered on the fly.
I'm part of the team that built this which came from different parts of FB. I think we'll be getting some much needed rest after today, then I hope we can start telling the story of how we built it.

#36Could someone please describe this for those of us that don't have a Facebook account?
Unless you are like me and self-delete posts after a day or two. Then you get a picture of your cover photo and profile pic plus the message "Thank you, [name] 10 years ago people started using Facebook to connect with each other in a new way. Thanks for being a part of it. Mark and the Facebook team"
That's exactly what you want, right?

#37I found the handwritten Mark Zuckerberg signature a little pretentious. Maybe that's because of The Social Network, but I don't feel like other CEO's are using their own brand like that. It's like a fashion designer or even an artist signing their work... My video was not THAT good.

#38i canceled my account today.
Re: Facebook's Lookback
#39Am I missing something? It's just 6 photos that I've uploaded, 4 of which are from the past month. It looks like people here are talking about music, but the page is not playing music in Chrome.

Careful, the video has photos that might be restricted.
