Facebook announced the addition of its "Birthday Cam" and it looks pretty dang cool. Usually, we get mildly annoyed with all those pesky and constant Facebook changes, but this one might be worth testing out. Now, TechCrunch notes, instead of reading a string of boring-ass "Happy Birthday" timeline posts, you'll be able to watch a ton of vids of your pals wishing you well on your special day. It's as simple as recording a video of yourself with your phone and posting it on your buddies wall. What will they think of next? Tech Crunch also says you can add decorative "Happy Birthday" banners to the video. Feisty. The feature was announced today for iOS. Loves it!
