Building off of the success of Facebook’s wildly popular “Look Back” videos that took members down memory lane last year, the company launched on Wednesday another video tool that it hopes will go just as viral.<\/p>\n
Facebook’s new video project “Say Thanks” lets users create personalized video cards for their friends and family that highlights the times they’ve shared together.<\/p>\n
The timing, of course, comes just a few weeks before Thanksgiving. And yes, this means your news feed is likely about to get flooded with nostalgic proclamations of how much one friend means to the other.<\/p>\n
And yes, this means your news feed is likely about to get flooded with nostalgic proclamations of how much one friend means to the other.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
Facebook members select a friend and a theme for the video, such as “old friends,” “friends”, “complicated” or “family” \u2014 each theme has its own music and feel.<\/p>\n
Similar to how users were able to select and edit photos for their Look Back video, it’s possible to choose the photos that most represent your friendship with that person and include wall posts, like “Happy Birthday” messages.<\/p>\n
From there, Facebook whips up a video preview and if you’re into it, you can share it on your Timeline.<\/p>\n
Your friend will show up tagged. It’s possible to set up privacy controls for the video too, so you can pick if you want your whole network or just the other person (or certain people) to see it.<\/p>\n\n

While Facebook created a Look Back video for its members last year, each user only had one video to potentially share with their network.<\/p>\n
In this case, people can create and share as many Say Thanks videos as they want since each friendship video would look different than the next \u2014 this means, the potential for this project is even bigger than the Look Back effort.<\/p>\n
Nearly 200 million users watched the Look Back video Facebook created for them and about half shared it on their Timeline.<\/p>\n
Although the focus is to say thanks to friends and family, there’s no Thanksgiving-specific message so \u2014 in theory \u2014 it’s a tool you could use (and Facebook hopes you’ll use) all year round. It will be available on the site indefinitely, the company told Mashable<\/em>.<\/p>\n
It’s possible to create videos on both desktop and mobile versions of the site, and it’s also available in various languages, including English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Indonesia, Portuguese and Turkish.<\/p>\n
