In one of the warmest and cuddliest product launches in the history of social media, Facebook has come up with yet another way to say THANKS.
Let s let Facebook tell you about Say Thanks:
Your friends are at the core of your Facebook experience, and we are always looking for new ways to help you celebrate those friendships, , which pitched the new feature as personalised video cards .
Share a Say Thanks video with a close friend, your significant other, a relative, a coworker, an old friend – or anyone else in your life who you d like to celebrate. There is no limit to how many personalized videos you can create and share.
Facebook, of course, is all about friendship. And friendship is at least partly dependent upon friends telling other friends Thanks. Right?
As this Guardian post points out, while there are plenty of ways to show your gratitude on Facebook, this new video feature is just what the Gratitude Doctor ordered:
Until now, there hasn t been an easy way to thank them by creating and sharing an animated slideshow of your shared Facebook history, with perky background music. But fear not: the social network has your back with its new feature.
Here s how it works:
Say Thanks is at least easy to use: you choose a friend and a theme: Old Friends or Friends – sorry, no Schadenfreude-Supplying Former School Bully Who s Fallen On Hard Times or Racist Colleague yet – as well as a combination of seven photos or posts, with an emphasis on those you both feature in.
Once finished, you can share it publicly, complete with a #saythanks hashtag and a link for the friend to reciprocate, or (as is more likely) make a video card for another older and/or better friend than you.

Now get out there, all you Facebook fanatics, and be thankful!
