FB timeline

by DabSter • 17 Dec 2011, 04:07 • Journals
Hey guys, so here are my questions:

Are people actually gonna edit their entire timeline?
Are normal people actually gonna look through someone's entire timeline?
Do people actually like this thing?
Why?
Why make such a risky marketing move?

I hope google+ won't do this.

Sorry I didn't. But I don't think our journals have the same goal.

Using timeline for like.. 2 months and it's very annoying.. Rather use the old simple profiles :|

It's okay but I won't post my entire life on Facebook. Those 30 pictures are enough and all the other logged information they got

Quote by What is timeline?
Timeline allows users to compile and let others see everything they have shared so far, from photos, stories to shared videos and music. Some of the things a user can do on Timeline are: edit his basic info, jump to the past, view his activity log, check highlights from each month, star stories he wants to highlight, add life events, update his status, view and add photos and share his app activity.

So basically it is the same as "view older posts", but you can hop back easier. Why all the fuzz?

Look is fine (expect the big boxes for each an every thing you do is a waste of webpage), the concept is stupid. You can already do all the stuff your quote says. This timeline justs adds bugs to be fixed and gives Facebook some attention.

Using it for 4 months now and it was great because we were only a few to use it, so obviously I understood friends profile. Now everybody got it and it's kind annoying.
The thing I really hate is that we CAN'T hide places we wete located in (public setting forced), it really needs adjusted settings to choose to share or not (So now there's only 51 friends on 394 who can see my profile) and one more thing I hate: You can't hide/delete stuff like "change his profile picture".
Using it for few months and obviously it's not fitting me, even with practice.

E: Oh, and if you look for something you got on your wall a week ago, forget about it: You won't find it. That is the same problem with friends profile, even if I got it I don't understand how to read and I don't even find the stuff I was looking for.

To be honest I went through my entire timeline and deleted stupid posts that I made years ago. The first post I ever made on facebook was 2007 when I posted on a girls wall "nice tits" so yes I think it's a very good idea1!!
