It's pretty lame when you only have 5 pictures on FB.

Interestingly enough, I was in a relationship with my ex for pretty much all of the last 9 years... and yet they didn't highlight a single post or picture of her in the lookback. Can't be coincidence.

Am 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.

Same for me and I have been a user for 4-5 years with a few hundred photos and at least a few dozen statuses. Facebook managed to completely fail to impress me yet again.

Yes, mine is just a few photographs on a page. No video. I guess you need to have a certain number of photos uploaded/tagged on Facebook to create a video, whereas I make an effort to not upload any such content.

I don't think it makes a difference. I've been on Facebook since 2004 and have about 950 photos and videos.

Does 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.

Hi pls can someone tell me why two hours ago I had a video and now the only thing I have its jus a "Thank you Leey..." Really want my video back ? :(
