I am reminded

I never liked anything on facebook (via a 'like' button) but I do have several likes.

Before the facebook feed , before even the facebook wall, the personal information field of your profile was a text blob. Over time facebook parsed this information and matched it to pages, giving me likes.

Now i get updates from films in my feed because 7 years ago I added them to a text field called 'movies/tv'

Doesn't bother me because I hardly use facebook anymore. But it is interesting to think how it has changed.
