Hi guys! Its been months since facebook launched its timeline feature and they say that all users will be forced to convert it to timeline one day. I don not know if this is true. Timeline has no positive impact on me. When I open a profile that is in timeline I really get confused. I feel that everything is a mess .Most People who want people to know them publicly love timeline.I hope they won't force everybody to use timeline. Its not appealing for me. What about you?

Fb can not be controled by them. if there is some message which is not good for them, specially the political things, they can not delete them very soon. they love their political power, so they are afraid of anything bad.

I dont like facebook timeline at all. By enabling it, your profile will get really confusing. I guess you get your profile a little disorganize if use timeline. Pictures re scattered everywhere and i do not like that. It also gives your profile a look that was developed by friendster before.

Hi, I have not switched to timeline. If I have a choice, I won't switch to timeline. I think the layout of timeline is overwhelming. Have a wonderful day!

I don't really use it. I mean, it's too bulky for me. I like things a bit more "HTML" like, not so javascript and heavy coded. It's easier for me to navigate when things are clear and organized - and the timeline, although organized, is not clear to me. Though I do like the cover - it's very streamlined and pretty.

Hi!Timeline is interesting but once I see the layout its really messy. The post are everywhere. They could have made it more organized to look more neat.

good day eljayo, well, i just shifted to Facebook Timeline, as I found it fine. aside from that, almost all of my friends have shifted their homepage to that. although we cannot deny the fact that, what is fine with me will also fine to others. as they say, the beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. hence, we have different opinions on how does it looks like. nevertheless, it is still Facebook.

Good day to you too! You are right. My friends have also switch to timeline.It really depends on the person if they will appreciate it or not. There are some changes that we need to accept once they make it compulsory.It is till Facebook just the look got different.:)

Personally I do not like this timeline feature.Facebook should not force everyone to use timeline. Current interface is simple and user friendly.

I don't switch to timeline style in Facebook yet but don't have any plan to switch.i find it slow and hard to used.Some of my friends already switched in it and wanted to go back in to the old style.They find it confusing and slow in viewing recent posts and updates.Slow loading when you wanted to view something like old post or updates.

@eljayo (1105)

Hi! It is really confusing. Maybe it is easy to use but when I look at the profile walls of my friends who have subscribed to timeline , it annoys me because previous wall posts are jumbled everywhere. Yes it makes it slow because of the many posts that has to be loaded.

I don't like timeline feature as well! :( I haven't changed my profile into timeline, and I hope it won't be changed by force. Same like what you feel, I'm so confused with what I see on timeline. Everything messed up, and those who have changed their profile mostly regret their action.

@eljayo (1105)

Hi! We share the same feeling. Some people really wanted to change it while some out of curiosity. We cannot stop Fb from changing our profile into timeline if they want to make it compulsion. Wall posts are everywhere.

Hi eljayo, I'm all for change when change is good but this new Timeline thing just drives me bonkers, and makes me think well if it 'aint broken there's no need to fix it type of thing. What's wrong with the 'old' version that we can't keep it, or those who want to? I can't get my head round the Timeline, it's an eye-sore to look at! IrishGal77 :)

Hi! You got the right word "messy". It really looks that way for me. I don't know if it can be undone in a profile but they say timeline will be a compulsion on February 12. I hope it is not true.

Hi! I don not know how to remove it but as far as I know once you change it to timeline you cannot undo it. I hope you'll adjust and will get used to it.Its really confusing.

I don't like the timeline personally. Bacause I'm not constantly online on Facebook. Sometimes I do not login for a month or so, bacause I don't have time and sense to look on my profile. I think the timeline is targeted on people who are using Facebook much. Also I do not prefer to put much pictures on my profile, which make the timeline look good.

@eljayo (1105)

Hi! Timeline is really for people who want Facebook to be their public diary. There are only few posts on Facebook that makes sense. Most of it are really junk.

I find the old wall much more convenient and user friendly. I have seen timeline in my friends wall, it is complicated. I want to continue with the old wall only. Even i feel that there should be an option of choosing between old wall and timeline, it should not be a compulsion.

@eljayo (1105)

• Philippines

7 Feb 12

Hi! Yes indeed . The old facebook is much more convenient although I have not yet change to timeline.I hope they don't make it a compulsion because my head really turns around when I see timeline.

I still havent switched to timeline. I have been trying to avoid this as long as possible because I like the normal look of facebook. I guess I have to do it soon as they might make it mandatory for everyone on 12th of feb :-/

Hi! I am too. I get dizzy when I visit a profile that is in time line. Too many post are on the wall and it is really in order for me. Its like a jumbled wall posts.

I myself has timeline and doesn't have a problem with it! It's nice. What I like about is when you post something a month ago you can find it easier to view! And I heard the other day Facebook will be changing everybody to Timeline. I think It'll happen!

@eljayo (1105)

Hi! Good for you. Maybe it just depends on every person. I hope by the time they make it a compulsion I will adapt with it because that will be their policy.

Hi! Yeah that's what they say. Well if Zuckergurg wants to do it that way we cannot do anything. I will not change my Fb to timeline unless they convert it themselves. It is really not neat to look at.
