Facebook’s Timeline to Change Your Profile into an Auto-Biography!
In Timeline, Facebook has found a new way of how you can show-case the story of your entire life on your profile. And not just any story but a story filled with videos, photos, snapshots, maps, sights and sounds. It’s a new way to look at your profile. In short, you can tell your whole life story with Facebook Timeline. This new profile is composed of three main features: Cover, Stories and Apps. The interest shown in this feature forecasts that Facebook will remain a popular site for some time but critics call it a privacy freak out!
Regardless of whether it’s a privacy violation horror story or a great way to present your self and how you were at different intervals of your life. The critics have blasted this new feature on the grounds that it may reveal some old stuff you wouldn’t want to appear again. “If I find that my personal, past posts are being posted again, I may just wipe everything out and devote my online time to G+. Is this what Zuckerberg is hoping for”, complained a Facebook user.
This isn't the only controversy surrounding its release, as a Chicago based website Timelines sued it. Their point was that these guys are not only using their name (well except one alphabet) but they have also redirected their Facebook Page to Facebook Timeline Page. Facebook already explained that the redirecting from Timelines to Timeline was caused by an error which has been removed now. Facebook has won the legal battle but some hard-core fans would still think that Facebook delayed is Facebook denied! (For days)
Love it (“like it” to be more Facebook) or hate it, you are still going to use it or talk about it, such is the kind of Facebook fever now a days. Although delayed Timeline is “coming soon” (as its page promises when you sign up for it) and Facebook founder Zuckerburg has given it an “Awesome”. But some fans have already found a way to use it before its release.
The Cover of your Timeline profile, will show a big image you select that you think represents you best. This will be the first thing people see when they look at your Timeline. So be sure to leave a big impact.
The main concept Stories in Timeline will share the past you have uploaded on Facebook. It will showcase your photos to make your profile a life album.
The Apps on the Timeline will show what kind of music you listen to, movies you watch and activities you do with a whole lot of new applications.
It will be advisable to review your older posts and “Hide from Timeline” the ones you don’t wish to reveal or simply remove them. Your Cover will be the best image to show-off your personality but you will still have your lil profile photo too. You can also include images from before you joined Facebook as of your childhood to put it on your Timeline. Maps will show what places you been to and when.
Only time will tell whether Timeline ends up “Awesome” or not. But it certainly has captured the imagination of the Facebook community.
