Facebook's Timeline

Contributor: GONE! GONE!
I despise it. I waited as long as I could to not have it!

Have refused to switch mine! Lol. I'm sure I'll have no choice sooner otr later but I hate the timeline. It's unorganized and crappy. I dont use fb a whole heck of a lot, but it is inconvenient so I avoid it

It's the reason I left.

I re-joined this morning, but I won't be using the account other than to view pages that you need to be logged in to Facebook for.

I did a total account delete, so while I'm sure they still have something, there is nothing on my wall and "timeline".

I will wait until it happens and then get to watch all complain for it. But I will get used to it and move on until the next update. That is how FB works.

I haven't switched over yet but Ive seen how it looks and can say that I am not pleased with the look or function let alone the privacy changes that it makes.

Definitely not a fan of Timeline. I switched ahead of time in order to be able to customize it, but I'm definitely disliking it. It's hideous! The only redeeming factor is the little banner image you can put behind your picture.

I hate all the new changes facebook has made. I did not use it very often before the changes, and no I hardly ever get one because of all the changes.

I wasn't so sure of it at first but figured I'd give it a try. It's definitely growing on me. I like the ability to highlight certain posts and the like. Once I kind of got a handle on how it worked, I liked it a LOT more and am diggin' it for the most part currently. I esp. like the fact that things like app activity are grouped together now and aren't each a separate update or whatever. I like the less-cluttered aspect of that feature a lot.

I hate the way it looks. I feel like you lose stuff in the switch. Note to Facebook stop changing.

One of my friends just posted this on her page. So for those who don't like the new timeline you can do this and it will bring it back to the old one. Seems to complicated for me I will stick to the timeline.

FB Timeline and YOU: ATTN: FOR THOSE WHO HAVE THE TIMELINE PROFILE AND WANT TO GET RID OF IT HERE'S WHAT YOU DO....Users have to use GOOGLE CHROME:go to TOOLS, click EXTENSIONS, then click bottom link- MORE EXTENSIONS, type in TIMELINE REMOVE, a post on right of page says- REMOVE TIMELINE? CLICK IT, (YOU DONT HAVE TO LIKE IT) then REFRESH FACEBOOK & you should have the Old FB Wall Back!! Pass it on.....

facebook is slowly killing itself with these unwanted updates while ignoring truly annoying things like failures in the chat system.

I agree, Facebook needs to quit changing.

I pretty much hate every change facebook has made since 2006, and when timeline is forced upon me it may be the final straw.

I love it! It is easier to go back and see the things I used to post. For instance I can easily go back to the day my daughter was born to see the comments since her first birthday is coming. I used to have to just click 'Older Posts' over and over, but now two or three clicks and I'm there.

It's a free site, so I'm down for whatever changes they think they need to make. I know that eventually all the profiles will have timeline, so I changed early on to get used to it.

I so agree!

I often subscribe to conspiracy theories; I have one about facebook: they keep changing the format and settings around so that users can't keep up with the privacy controls, thus allowing corporations and other entities to take advantage of the massive information people place on their facebooks.

Since all the changes I've been finding more and more spot-on ads pop up on my internet sites--not just for facebook but also in Hulu, google mail, google searches. It irritates me to no end and does the exact OPPOSITE of making me want to purchase a product. I'm fine with such things if I've given permissions, but I don't even answer ad tailor in Hulu and somehow they consistently send me ads that adhere to conversations I've been having online.

Eerie. I can't wait 'til they have a "do not follow" list for the internet (I've heard they're working on this).

The timeline is the best update facebook has done in years. I don't understand all the fuss about it.

I don't like change, but they've gotta keep up, I guess?

I think it has some organization issues, but I really like the way it looks overall.

I hate the active loading aspect of facebook. I preferred when there were page numbers on walls.

I was forced into it! I did not want the timeline at all. But one day FB changed it behind my back. Those bastards. Lol. I'm slowly getting used to it now. But wish it was the way it used to be.

I will wait until they make me switch. I don't like the look and tried playing with it on other's profiles. It doesn't seem like an upgrade.

It hasn't hit me yet and I'm not switching until it makes me, I really hate the look of 'timeline'. -_-
I go to my friends profiles that have it and it makes it so hard to find what I was looking for that it's ridiculous.

I switched over around December or so, when they were saying everyone would be switched in a few weeks (looks like that got delayed, though!). I'm kinda ambivalent about it. I like a few things, like the cover photo and being able to make a map of travels. There are some really annoying things, though- no matter how I mess around with my privacy settings, it keeps showing the pages I've liked recently. I "like" a lot of FB pages for giveaways, so I'd rather not have them cluttering everything up!

i switched early for the banner pic but then realized it was a mistake.

I changed ahead of time.

I don't see why people get all up in a tizzy over it. It's not like they charge us to be there. Get use to it or leave. *Shrugs*

I like the way the the cover photo looks, but I don't love the two columns of "timeline" posts, it's confusing to me. Oh well, I figure we'll all get used to it eventually, just like every other FB change.

I've had it for a couple months. I like it in some aspects. My main gripe is how things are grouped together. Makes finding things on my page really difficult.
