\n<\/p>\n

Facebook today is rolling out a new program<\/a> that will place messages at the top of your News Feed which prompt users to discuss and share moments that are happening in the world, including the holidays, as well as other historical and cultural moments. You may have already seen\u00a0seen these large, colorful cards at the top of your News Feed wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving or reminding you not to miss the supermoon,\u00a0in recent weeks. Now, these sorts of cards will arrive on a more regular basis, Facebook\u2019s announcement indicates.<\/p>\n

You can think of these cards as sort of like Facebook\u2019s own version of the Google doodle.<\/p>\n

The Google logo on the search engine\u2019s homepage is regularly updated to reflect some notable event \u2013 sometimes it\u2019s the current holiday, or often, a historical moment of importance that, when clicked, will take you to Google search results about the event.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Facebook\u2019s new moments are meant to increase engagement with the social network. The company says that they will help people discover important historical moments, cultural events, or give people a way to connect with friends during holidays and at other times.<\/p>\n

Of course, this feature is\u00a0arriving just ahead of the holidays here in the U.S., and is kicking off with holiday cards you can share with family and friends.<\/p>\n

\"holiday-card-promo\"<\/p>\n

Today, at the top of the News Feed, you\u2019ll see the option to select from one of 18 custom-designed\u00a0holiday cards, including those that celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, as well as those that just celebrate the winter season, as with the card showing\u00a0a snowman cookie, for example.<\/p>\n

After selecting a card, you can optionally add your own message, then tag friends and family to share it in their Feed.<\/p>\n

Facebook says more moments and events will roll out in time, following this initial launch.<\/p>\n

    What\u2019s interesting about this new feature is that it\u2019s being announced by Facebook\u2019s CMO, Gary Briggs, and described as a new \u201cmarketing program.\u201d\u00a0That could mean the social network views this feature as something that goes beyond giving users a reason to share \u2013 it could possibly serve as a new, premium ad space in the future.<\/p>\n

    The cards are available to all users starting today at 9 AM local time.<\/p>\n
