Facebook's Timeline

[illmatic]

I don't mind the layout and look of the timeline, and think the concept is cool. But while I am tempted to add more pics and info about myself for the world to see, I really don't trust Facebook's privacy. Even when setting the right privacy settings, I just don't like having too much personal information on the site.

I don't like how people get so distracted by the header picture that they are blinded to the other faults of the layout. "OHH! Place to put a pretty picture!"
That doesn't make out for the disorganization, constraining spaces, and reduced privacy. It's a common tactic though. Make something pretty and they'll ignore how dysfunctional it is. A lot of the comments... okay, nearly ALL of the comments I've seen around the web that support Timeline; specially for people, not pages; are pretty much all about the spot for the header picture and nothing else. Nothing about the crazy columns, or exposed privacy.

I still have the old layout and I hope it will stay that way for a little longer. I just looked at a profile with timeline from a friend of a friend (that I don't know) and I'm shocked at how much details I can see as an outsider. I hope I can tweak the privacy settings so that random people don't see when I worked for what company or what I share with my friends at what time and day.

I could've used it sooner now I don't have that much of need of timeline.Good thing about it is that you can search your FB history more easily

Personally, I hate the timeline. But considering that I never much liked anything about facebook and keep it simply because I have friends I couldn't talk to otherwise, I don't expect any kind of improvements. It's not really THAT much of a change. People will get over it.

apparantly most people hate it. I'm one of the lucky people that haven't gotten forced to have timeline yet but imma be sad when that time comes

 

[linkmoon89]

honestly I don't mind it. The only downside I have about it is when searching for certain posts, like links for farmville an such its a lil difficult to navigate to find them.

I only like it for the cover feature, other than that it's a little too personal.

I don't mind it as much.

I heard the width was because it was thought in mobiles and other devices, but I don't really like the two columns thing as much as I like the organization of the timeline in itself. I also feel the opposite way than most people as I feel the information is more at hand and more intuitive than before.

Putting that aside, I am more concerned about all the privacy changes and tagging and photo stuff than everything else. I really dislike not being able to de-tag myself directly in picture and just 'disable the picture to appear in my profile". I am not over that and some applications taht bulk ask you permission to do thing and you cannot decide for either, like ticking each option or something.

I've still not got the new timeline as I really don't like it! It looks confusing and I cant seem to find anything anymore... I just hate change okay?

 

[crashmaster98]

I TOTALLY HATE THE TIMEINE, DON'T ASK ME

 

[Leo Crimson]

I personally like timeline as a whole (especially the cover photo), plus it gives you the ability to look back on all your past posts and comments. It is a little laggy, though, and the profile picture area could be a little bit bigger.

ehh....i liked the old one better

I hate it and hope i dont ever have to change to it! I really facebook should either stop with the constant changing (unless its actually better) or give the option to choose the many different types of layouts they have made, like once a month!
