Yesterday marked my 7th “Faceversary” (annual anniversary working at Facebook). I’m celebrating the best way I know how: by launching a brand new feature a few of us started at a hackathon.

This adds to the suite of multimedia features within comments including: links, photos, stickers, emoji, and starting today video.
