Just curious... who of you wish people happy birthday via Facebook?
I do it some of the time, though really I avoid it as it seems very superficial to me. If you really care about somebody, it seems like you'd send them a card/present or visit them or something that takes a tiny bit of effort.
If the only reason you know it's somebody's birthday is because Facebook sent you a notification, then maybe it's not even worth the time to write/read the message wishing a person happy birthday.
How do you handle Facebook birthdays?

Close friends get a text/call or a personal appearance if they are having a party.
Regular friends get a facebook message.
Acquaintances get nothing unless I happen to be talking to them for some other reason.

Based on recently leaked documents, Facebook uses me.

Sorry ... What is this Facebook thing?

I don't use Friendface, so the only reason I know it is anybody's birthday is because my phone reminds me.

This is why I don't have a Facebook account.

I cross reference a personal database with all known birthdays via a back-end call to Facebook (FB) API's within my personal FB application.
Once a match is identified, an auto-responder posts to that "friend's" wall using one of 276 preformatted birthday wishes, all of which are customized to give the illusion of being a personal entry, including the occasional typo.
When that person posts a comment, my FB app will pick up on it and notify me via txt msg of the comment. If the comment is personal, other than a "hey, thanx!" or something, I will personally reply back. Only the rare person (other than immediate family) gets an in-person or phone call; that is, unless I'm single (of which I'm not  ) and they're a hot & single babe ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) (of which, I don't know of any such persons...  )
What's really funny is, I put my Birthday as January 1  on any and all websites, including FB, and people who've known me for years, even some close family, post "Happy Birthday" wishes on that day...

 One of the other reasons I don't wish people happy birthday on Facebook unless I personally know it's their birthday.

Well, since you now know 1/1 is *not* my birthday, just post "HBDay!" each day for the rest of the year!!

Maybe they are using your application. Next time put some kind of copy-protection into your application.

Feb 30th works on some websites. If that doesn't work, use Feb 29th 1900 (not a leap year). At worst, you'll only be inconvenienced once every 4 years (or 97 times every 400 years). Although, I do have a friend who is a genuine Feb 29th - she'll be 7 in 3 years time.
