The day my Google search page got a little too personal... - guitarist - 07-19-2013
I noticed the daily Google Image was of cupcakes, and party trinkets. I thought "that's funny..." since today is my birthday...then I did a roll-over, and it said my name, and happy birthday.
Instead of being amused or enjoying it, it made me reconsider the whole thing of being automatically logged into Google.
I realize this may not be news, or that I'm late to discover this fairly trivial notification, but it's not the mega-bazillion-dollar best pal I want to hear from on this particular day. Anyone else get one of these?

I've used it. Not as impressed as I hoped to be. But I'm aware it's an option.

Oh, yeah, a stranger in a black trenchcoat stopped me on the subway and told me it was your birthday, and then tonight a torch singer in a red dress reminded me, but I told her I was too busy to send a card.
But, hey, H B'Day!

Happy Burfday. I wasnt impressed either. I just don't log in anymore and clear google cookies always.

we have a winner!!!
I once created a facebook account (which I have not used in about 2 years now). When they asked about birthday, I think I selected the oldest possible date, I don't remember what year it was, it was either Jan 1, 1901 or 1905. I must be one of the oldest Facebook users!
