Way way back November or December last year, I saw few of my friends are using Facebook Timeline. I thought its cool, so I made an app about it too. But, as few days pass by, I thought its really annoying. So, I deleted the app. Then, I'm back with my old profile. But, just recently, Facebook started distributing the Facebook Timeline to all its 800 million users. Some are lucky that they still can choose the old one.. But, those who once used the timeline before is now not able to remove it! :( Too bad!

I think that timeline from facebook is cool. I'm not really bothered by it. I like the cover photo. But you know what, i noticed this recently that, Multiply.com and facebook cover photo are the same. i still have my multiply account which you can also edit to have a cover photo. I think multiply is the first one to think about that idea.

Really?! They have a cover photo now in Multiply? I have not used or visited Multiply for what seems like ages now. I think I am going to check it out. Thanks.

Hi tatzkie! Good thing you find it cool. The only cool thing about it is the cover photo! I haven't using Multiply for years now.. so i can't recall about the cover photo thing there.

Ooops! I just checked on Multiply. It's a marketplace now. No longer the Multiply that I joined years back. I think I am going to stick with mylot and facebook for now. Though I do not like Facebook's Timeline too. I wish they would give us an option to switch back to the old profile layout or better still to have the option to personalize our profile page. Oh well, I guess the Cover Photo is the best they could do in terms of personalization.

Hi edsss!!! I just started using Timeline yesterday although I was aware of it before because I've seen one of my friends using it. I thought it was a nice application because the layout of the profile page is different. But I didn't know where to look for it so I forgot all about it. And then last Wednesday, my office mate happily told me that he was using Timeline and that I should try it because it's cool. He told me how to find Timeline so I searched for it and applied it. I actually think it's a nice application. You can feature some of your activities and statuses and you can put a cover picture in the heading. I'm still enjoying it so I'm not thinking of reverting back to the old profile yet.

I agree. But I just found out that I can't use just any of my photos at Facebook as my cover photo. The pictures we can use are limited to the new ones we've uploaded. It kinda sucks that way.

Oh well. I got the very same feeling when I started using Timeline. The only nice in it is just the cover photos! :)

I'm using timeline now and still don't get the hang of it. I also prefer the old one if I will be given a choice. I haven't check yet mine if I can remove the app.

Well, i don't like using Timeline too. I still prefer the old profile. So, it's a good thing i haven't used it, because as you said, it cannot be reverted back to the old style.

@SIMPLYD: indeed! You can't go back to the old one anymore once you activated your profile into the Timeline!

Hi bunso! I like your new profile,you look blooming in that photo. My niece also wanted her fb to be back to its old version,I told her,maybe she just doesn't know how to put it back. Now I realized we can't put back the old fb version,so my niece is right. Well,I am not always in my profile,I just go to the homepage so that's fine with me,haha! I'm not always visiting fb so often these past few days,quite busy bunso. Actually,it was my niece who turned my fb to the timeline.

Yes, she's right nay. We can't put our old profile back when the timeline is already activated. We really miss you in the group. When you open you're FB, you'll probably get a lot of notifications from the addicts! HEHEHE! :) Anyway, thanks for noticing my photo nay!

I'm still using the old facebook profile page. I've heard some bad stuff about FB Timeline. Some friend of mine are having difficulty navigating through it and realize that they would like to go back to the old FB profile but can no longer to. I didn't take risk of having FB Timeline even if I'm curious about it. However, I like the FB Timeline because of it's so-called cover photo. I feel like I'm on my own blog. I have a bogus account but is still using the old FB profile page. I will think about million times before I continue to move forward and enter the FB Timeline.

Well, you really should think million times before moving to the Timeline. Its scrolling is slow which pissing me off.

my lady, You're not the only one who regretted using the Timeline app. My daughter tried the one week try out- but when she tried to put it back to the old look since she doesn't like the Timeline app- she can't do it anymore... Now,she's so annoyed

I understand her! That's why I don't stay on Facebook now as much as I do before. I'm more on Twitter and here in myLot nowadays if I'm not busy!

Well, I guess I'm lucky enough, I tried to used the app even before it was on beta phase but I did not manage to do so, it requires my mobile number for activation code. but my phone was lost that time I could not get the apps and did not struggle to have the timeline till now. I guess the normal facebook page is the best and easy to use.

True that! The old Facebook look is much more manageable and you can see things easily unlike the new Timeline.

hi:) I also prefer the old facebook interface, but since the facebook timeline came in I also tried that because they said it will automatically will turn into that in certain time, but how come my other friends has still their old interface. so I was also thinking I want to go back on my old facebook style but I don't know how to turn it back... so now that you said that it's not possible anymore once you use timeline, maybe I'll just keep it and try to appreciate for what it is... but I hope I can still revise it.

Yea, it will not go back to the old interface anymore since you've activated the timeline already.. Well, probably in the right time will get the hang of it.

Mine is using Timeline now too. It's actually hard to see other stuff we post in there, that's what makes it look bad. Some of my friends are still using the old facebook profile look. Since I've heard that they will eventually change it sooner I am not thinking about going back to the old format.

That's one of my dilemmas too. Its too hard to scroll down with the timeline now and too hard to see statuses, photos and etc.

Hi Edsss17, That's really the most complaints of my friends when they did that timeline thing and they couldn't go back to the old one anymore. I could relate now since after a a long time of deactivating it, I activated it again. And I am glad to see and communicate with old friends again. But there would be times that I tend to forget that I have facebook now since unlike before I tend to log in most of the time..but now, I tend to log in on other sites...like mylot because it's more fun in here. Have a nice day!

True that! :) Its more fun in some sites now that Facebook. I'm more in Twitter now than Facebook since I find it so annoying there now, unlike before. And anyway, I like your username!
