Facebook Displays Old Status Updates in Memorable Stories Sidebar Module

Facebook is testing a new Memorable Stories sidebar module which shows users four of their old status updates and when they were posted. The module is sometimes displayed in the right sidebar when users click “View Post” on a news feed or wall story. In some cases, users can click on the post’s timestamp to view the original post, complete with Likes, comments, and an additional set of Memorable Stories.
