New Look for Facebook is NOT so Hott! / myLot

Perhaps many of you have in fact updated your Facebook to have the "timeline". With this new update Facebook was proven to us just how much a creep it really is. It has kept and stored every status update, every message you've ever sent, and all your old photos and now is available to you in your "timeline". The reason is keep putting timeline in quotations is because I like to think of it as a "creepline". A lot of us have friends on Facebook that we don't really know or talk to but keep them on Facebook for business purposes. Why on earth would I want all these people knowing what I was doing in high school? I think this update is a complete and utter fail on Facebook's part and they should not make everyone have to update theirs to this new format. Does anyone like the new Facebook timeline and if so, why? Are there new features that actually have some benefit that I am unaware of?

I also don't like the facebook timeline.. I can't delete the post when i change my relationship status and its more hard for me to search the old post of my friends. I only like it when i upload new photos because now i can see the photos uploaded one by one.

FB timeline is confusing at first... but if you get to know how to manipulate the site, eventually, you'll appreciate it... What's cool about it, is that, you get to browse your previous posts as in way back when you started facebooking .... so far so good.....

Hi there dheppler89!!! Since I installed this new facebook timeline I've become lazy in using or visiting my profile in facebook becoz it becomes slower than before.I really can't find anything different with this timeline aside from the design.

I am okay with change but after trying the facebook new layout for profiles, I realized that I need to go back to the old one. My friend also is complaining about it. Me too. My complain is that it is very log as the information updates.

I think the timeline is not so hot. How stalker like to think that people can check out everything you have ever posted to Facebook. Do you know if everyone is going to have to switch? I haven't done it yet. Also I really don't like how it looks. Kind of reminds me of myspace which drove me absolutely crazy! If anyone know if everyone is going to have to switch to the new time line let me know. Thanks so much!

I don't like the "timeline" either, It looks complicated and crowded. I much prefer the normal way of viewing someones profile and photos.

change is inevitable... As a curious person I tried this timeline and it's no that complicated when you get to know it. Yes, you are partly true about the creepiness of it but you still have a choice to delete or hide the photos you don't want to share.

First time when I switched to timeline, It felt very complicated to me but I used it for 2-3 days, I started liking it. 90% of peoples not liking the new TIMELINE, cause it is complicated.Hope facebook will make it more interesting and user friendly. :D

Well personally I prefer the good old facebook. I think the timeline's so messy. Good thing facebook didn't force us to conform with it. Those who chose timeline view says they like it because it looks more lively. But for me, the simpler it is the better.
