Last year, Facebook well surpassed in-person greetings this year. Even with birthday drinks with friends, celebrating the day in the office, and a family lunch on Sunday. Some other personal greetings came the night before my birthday, which was coincidentally the party for 360i's tenth birthday (see Kelly Samardak's Flickr photos).
Facebook does so well feeding on itself. Someone wishes me happy birthday, it appears on my wall. That action may show up in their friends' news feeds. I'll then write on their walls to thank them (or I might do so via Facebook email), and then anyone who visits those walls will see the exchange. Of course, the biggest driver is the prominent space on the homepage Facebook provides to alert people of their friends' birthdays. Then there are apps like Twitter, with four mentions (first one, thanks @andrewnevelos, and then a quick burst of a few, @danperry, @worleygirl, and @gregory - thanks all around there too). Also, I received my first note on geneaology service
