As a Facebook user you probably have seen the opportunity to create their own annual review entitled, Your year in a nutshell. It is a feature of the social network, which now returns every year and should provide an overview of the funniest and best moments of the year. This is just not always so apparent this year.
The list is generated automatically for each user and this is by an algorithm include looking at the messages and photos with the most likes and comments. So also appear so there sad messages in the annual review which can be very confrontational. A sad example comes from the United States of web designer Eric Meyer. In his annual statement was immediately placed a photo of his six year old daughter in the spotlight who died this year from the effects of cancer, in addition to the photo dancing people were shown and above the photo text Here’s what your year looked like! .
Logically very painful for Eric. He said that the problem in the code that is automatically compiles the news and understands that these situations are difficult to capture. It is not easy to programmatically figure out if a picture Has A ton or Likes Because It’s hilarious, astounding, or heartbreaking . A simple solution would be to place according to Eric a picture on top of the annual standard. Also it would be better to ask the user first if they want to see a personal annual or not.
Jonathan Gheller, product manager Year in Review on Facebook has contacted Eric and apologized, it is not clear whether and what Facebook will do with the solutions. It should also be noted that the first annual review and may be adjusted in terms of messages and photos to share with friends in the news though this possibility can never prevent the above.
