After the recent site wide roll out of the new profile, it looks like Facebook is testing another new feature today called “Memorable Stories.”
This new sidebar item just appeared on my profile. So far, it showed my old status updates from the last two years. I think they are randomly selected and shown as they all attracted different number of likes and comments back when they were fresh.
Only you can see your status updates, but if you still feel they are not so “Memorable,” a click on the small “x” will hide them.
Personally I like this new feature and think it’s a nice way relive some of your past updates.
