(REUTERS) - Facebook Inc said on Friday a glitch that changed profiles of several users, including that of Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg, to memorial pages had been resolved.
A message meant for memorialized profiles was mistakenly posted to other accounts, a company representative said in an emailed statement. "We hope people who love ( name ) will find comfort in the things others share to remember and celebrate ( his/her ) life,"appeared at the top of user profiles, Gizmodo reported.
People took to Twitter to ridicule the glitch. "Facebook thinks I'm dead I guess? That's awkward," Jason Evagelho tweeted.
