[7 - No tomorrow]

I must check if anyone else has tired of my intermittent nonsense.

I just assume that they always are but are more concerned with their own to bother doing anything about it.

Was it me? I unfriended everyone. It wasn't personal. I would unfollow me in heartbeat if i wasn't me.

Nah, I enjoyed your fruitless leprechaun hunts.

Hmmm, good way of thinking, I'll assume the same of everyone.

Someone has a very festive profile photo!

Sorry, I should have used a different tense/worded it more clearly - someone I unfollowed subsequently unfriended me, should I feel aggrieved?

No, you should feel relieved

I kept seeing them pop up in my feed, created by others, almost all of them with the default caption, “It’s been a great year! Thanks for being a part of it.” Which was, by itself, jarring enough, the idea that any year I was part of could be described as great.

Still, they were easy enough to pass over, and I did. Until today, when I got this in my feed, exhorting me to create one of my own. “Eric, here’s what your year looked like!”

A picture of my daughter, who is dead. Who died this year.

Yes, my year looked like that. True enough. My year looked like the now-absent face of my little girl.

I've also seen someone say that the picture it chose was the urn his father's ashes were put in after he died this year.

I had a few poignant photos show up in mine. But It's just an automated slideshow of stuff I chose to post this year. I didn't share it. I moved on. And promptly posted some more stuff I may regret later when it's presented back to me.

Do they not understand how it works?

Why announce it, just do it. The people you deleted probably won't even realise

Bah

I owe the Year in Review team in specific, and Facebook in general, an apology. No, not the other way around. I did get email from Jonathan Gheller, product manager of the Year in Review team at Facebook, before the story starting hitting the papers, and he was sincerely apologetic. Also determined to do better in the future. But I am very sorry that I dropped the Internet on his head for Christmas. He and his team didn’t deserve it.

(And yes, I’ve reflected quite a bit on the irony that I inadvertently made their lives more difficult by posting, after they inadvertently made mine more difficult by coding.)

Yes, their design failed to handle situations like mine, but in that, they’re hardly alone. This happens all the time, all over the web, in every imaginable context. Taking worst-case scenarios into account is something that web design does poorly, and usually not at all. I was using Facebook’s Year in Review as one example, a timely and relevant foundation to talk about a much wider issue.
