The Birthday reminder is one of most superficial and irritating feature about Facebook. I actually dislike the almost "automated" birthday greetings on my fb wall from friends & acquaintances as a result of Facebook reminding users on my birthday - and therefore indirectly putting social pressure on them to wish me (even if they did not want to).
I like it as it was in the pre-Facebook days when without any automated calendar reminders, friends either write to me by email or call to wish me.
Anyway I removed my birthday from Facebook so that no one gets a reminder and hence are not forced to write some automated greeting on my wall. And neither do I send birthday greetings to people if I did not know their birthdays by heart in the first place.
I am truly becoming a relic.
