The site
of social networking has apologized as after at least someone complained that it’s
generated automatically "Year in Review" posts which brought up bad
memories in his life. The feature compiles users' pictures from year 2014 and
adds the caption automatically, "It's been a great year! And also Thanks for
being a part of it."
Eric Meyer,
writer and web design consultant, has lost his beloved daughter to brain cancer
recently in this year on her 6th birthday, he wrote a blog post describing the reality
that the preview for his “Year in Review” post included photo of her daughter, beside
with clip art of figures “enjoying festivities”.
“For persons
who lived through the loss of loved ones or spent stressed time in the hospital
or were punch by divorce or losing an employment or any one of a several crisis
and disasters, we maybe not wish for another look again at this past year,”
Meyer wrote December 24.
Jonathan
Gheller, the manager of the product for the “Year in Review” feature, said that
he approached to Meyer for apologize for this on the behalf of his company, which
causing hurt him.
The app
was amazing for a lot of persons, but obviously in this situation we also
brought him grief rather than pleasure, Gheller said. He added that the team of
Facebook would take Meyer 's concerns into account for next time.
