Have You Shared Your First Profile Photo On Facebook?

Darpan News Desk IANS, 16 Jan, 2015 03:39 PM

The latest Facebook trend requires users to post their first Facebook profile photos and then nominate others to do the same.

The trend is seemingly just a way to publicly embarrass both yourself and new friends, the website Mashable reported.

Facebook turns 11 Feb 4.

Those who joined the social networking site when it was launched in 2004 did not, for obvious reasons, upload profile photos which were in sync with current fashion trends and style.

However, a health advocacy organisation called Mental Health Ireland is encouraging people to follow the trend.
