Welcome to Timeline and all. Now make sure you update your privacy settings.

Glad I read that... Did not know some of those settings existed with the update!

Upon switching to timeline I realized how douchey and unfunny I used to be.

You and I both, my friend, you and I both...

I think this was a learning moment for us all. I liked 773 pages in 2009.

Technically you became a "fan" of them.

My friend's cover picture is a closet. I'm assuming the next one is going to be one of his boyfriend. Timeline.

Welcome back, MySpace.

[–]TitleShouldRead 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

My thoughts exactly.

[–]Awfy -2 points-1 points ago

This is almost the oposite of MySpace. When we look back MySpace's biggest fault was their lack of innovation and improvement of their site. You could argue Facebook have went backwards but you'll soon realize that is not true.

The new Timeline focuses on your life as a whole, something which will become more and more valuable to you, relatives and friends the older you get. Most people don't use Facebook profiles for anything other than looking at someone else's lifestyle and photos.

Most people will continue to use Facebook like they always have, sat on their main News Feed reading what happened in the past 24 hours in their entire selection of friends.

....and all the corporations who like to data mine people's content, and info, and habits.....

[–]l30 7 points8 points ago

Everyone is going to have it, it's the new profile layout for everyone - anyone who has it now is just testing it out early.

[–]Tokio13 12 points13 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Ooh, I hate it. There is just too much going on for me. When I'm trying to read someone's profile page I don't even know where to look. Too cluttered for me to read.

[–]screenshotted 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

it has to load like sixty different little things and shit, I hate the live loading of elements in the page

[–]roflautogyro 7 points8 points ago

Timeline is awesome, and only affects your profile. It's not like most people are looking at their own profile all the time. It's a great way to see what your old or new friends have been up to. And it's pretty.

[–]MadZane 15 points16 points ago

Like every new update, everyone will complain at first because people don't like change. Then they'll eventually accept it and not remember how things were at all before.

[–]blacksuit 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You're probably right, but many of us still remember the old facebook back when it was "thefacebook" and it was only at certain colleges. No apps, no bullshit. I kinda miss it.

[–]JonnehxD 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Google + is like that, except no one wants to use it.

[–]shamoni 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Because nobody uses it. Plus, Google is too integrated. I have to be wary of what it's sharing, cos I might be watching a Youtube video of some weird shit, and turns out it gets posted under some sort of History folder in my G+ account. I don't trust it.

[–]JonnehxD 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, that bothers me too. :\

Also, no one uses it because no one wants to use it because no one uses it because... it's a cycle.

It's a great social network, and if more people were on it I'd definitely be using it more often.. but nothing will knock Facebook off it's throne for a long, long time.

[–]shamoni 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Except Facebook itself. If they make the sharing any more generic, (they've gotten rid of the separation of links and updates already) G+ should grab it's chance.

[–]Smellmyhand 0 points1 point ago

That's nostalgia. Nostalgia only makes you remember the good parts.

[–]Boofster 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I am not sure why everyone is hating on this so much.

It's not bad. Yes, maybe the old way was cool but you can't hate on it just because it's change. Accomplishes the same thing it did before.

Not sure why people keep saying it's random. It's a timeline, follow the dots along the line in the middle. It's sequential order...you know, like a timeline! (gasp!) Nothing random there.

[–]Boofster -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yea, take another look. It's not random, just alternating left and right in order of your posts.

Does it really need to show that you added Friend A at exactly 10:23 PM and liked Movie B exactly twenty seconds later? Grouping it removes unnecessary clutter.

[–]orkid68 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

But then why does it still take all that stuff and point it to a dot on the timeline? It should just float.

[–]Tuon 2 points3 points ago

I'm so confused by this change.... I'm usually a fan of new things but.. Donno if I'm gonna jump that train.

Tuck and roll Tuon, tuck and roll.

this one is borderline for me but to keep with the spirit: I'm just gonna leave this on every relevant post

[–]danstheman7 -1 points0 points ago

shit, i just switched like an hour ago.

i can now safely say there's nothing i have regretted more this year.

Well, you have one week to update your privacy settings. (link originally provided by JasterMareel)

[–]funkanimus 1 point2 points ago

First world problem: Facebook improved my free account without asking me first.

Bwaaaahhh

[–]Nimiety_One 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Since you have to actually click "Get Timeline" I really think people's complaints are a bit hilarious.

[–]shamoni 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Improved is an overstatement. Fucked around with it as it pleases is more like it.

[–]TitleShouldRead -3 points-2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Except it's not free, people pay with their privacy, even if settings are set to "private" for the public.

[–]jessers25 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Or people can just not use it.

[–]TitleShouldRead 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You're right, they can just use another social site that all their friends and family are already on.

installed? turned on? :( I'm a simple creature.

[–]Awfy -2 points-1 points ago

Enabled would most likely be the most appropriate word. Turned on isn't geeky enough.

[–]Jubeii -2 points-1 points ago

Open the floodgates, let loose the torrent of mediocre content whoring karma off idiots resisting and condemning change whenever/wherever it occurs! Never mind the fact this happens every time any website does it, the bitching is always inevitable.

[–]shamoni 0 points1 point ago

I've seen more hate on Reddit of Reddit than most other places.

[–]Jubeii 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's broader than that: you'd struggle to find a place more obsessed with itself than Reddit.

I took an hour of my time to go through and click "hide from timeline" to every single post you have ever made. Now my timeline only has the last week's worth of posts and Nothing Else. Muwhahahaha!!!

[–]paranoidkiwie 3 points4 points ago

You took an hour to hide every single post I have ever made? Damn! That's dedication..

[–]eak125 0 points1 point ago

I have hidden the post you just made here as well. I'm not talking to you.
