I like the changes Timeline made. I like how to makes someone's page more about them in an overall sense than how it was before where it was only recent stuff. Plus I was able to easily bundle together the various trips I have taken and my family can easily look through them.

Finally, a way to get rid of this annoyance

I really don't see why people don't like timeline. Really a nice update if you ask me.

I like it. It looks really good: a proper design-centric upgrade over what was there before, something in Facebook that actually looks pretty decent.

But I can see the other point this writer and other people are making: how it convolutes the actual point of social networking, and tries to morph it into this idea of creating a digital scrapbook. I just don't see that idea working to the benefit of me.

For example, for how much I like it in terms of looks, I barely use any of the functionality (life events, map location tracking, etc etc).

If I used FaceBook for something other than filler maybe I would have a better opinion, but I dont put any personal info there anyway so TimeLine? why not

nothing is wrong with fb timeline people need to learn how to secure their personal lives and put locks on things.

this is nonsense just a client side modification.

I mainly hate it from a design perspective...it doesn't make it any easier to find info or see what someone's posted, etc. It's actually rather counter-intuitive, it's as if they just updated the layout for the sake of updating it, much like the many useless youtube renovations over the past few years.

"Just when you got used to this layout, we have a new one to disorient you with, and the best part is: we're forcing it on you!"

I don't think it's terrible, but I'm not willing to change yet to used to the original format.
