1. I think it's fine.

I can still do all the same things I used to do before timeline took over. That's all that matters to me.

12. *gasp*

You're a . . . a . . . Yankees fan?

Oh, well.

[bigwillq]

14. Yes.

Got a problem with that?!?!?

[Bertha Venation]

15. AAMOF I do.

Not really. I don't know why I don't like the Yankees. I just don't. Did I offend you? I'm sorry.

I was thrilled when we -- the Angels (yes, I said "we"!) beat the Yanks in the 2002 playoffs.

16. No offense taken!

Y'all got lucky in 2002!

2. I was just forced by fb to convert to Timeline. Spent about 90 minutes editing stuff

so things I wanted to appear would--and if I didn't they wouldn't. PITA.

I've seen this posted about how to 'get rid of Timeline' but can't verify whether it will work.


Use Google Chrome. Go to Tools, then Extensions, then click the bottom link - more extensions. Then type TIMELINE REMOVE. A post on the right will ask REMOVE TIMELINE? Click it, then REFRESH FACEBOOK, and you should have your wall back.

7. thx!

I have not yet allowed myself to be sucked into using Google Chrome; but I'll keep your info in mind.

3. How about "I log in to Facebook about once a month and don't have a fucking clue what Timeline is."

4. I barely ever look at it but must have accidentally clicked something and now I have timeline and

I fucking hate it. Didn't think I COULD hate FB more that I already did but oh yes it sucks even more now.

I should probably delete it anyway now that an asshole spammed the photo all over DU to get their juvenile revenge for whatever imagined slight I must have committed against them or one of their little friends.

5. Too busy, too cluttered.

But, you know, kind of a First World problem...

6. If we can get some more bodies in here, I'd like to post the thread on facebook.

I use it minimally, but have to be on it some bec. many of my friends use it almost exclusively. And I used to find it useful at least occasionally to catch up on what's going on with them.

But I find the timeline layout confusing, and now have trouble finding what I want even on my own wall, let alone anyone else's.

To me it seems mainly like a device designed to encourage users to add more intelligible info about their pre-facebook pasts (presumably so we can be more thoroughly exploited and manipulated).

But I'm open to hearing any advantages to the new layout . . .

8. It drives me crazy to look at it.

It looks like a mess.

9. It's making me think about moving to Google+ nt

10. Pretty much looks just like MySpace.

The clean, crisp appearance is what put Facebook ahead of MySpace to begin with.

Whatever though. There are worse things to happen to someone.

11. Just got Timelined last week

And if the rumor I hear about them dropping ads into my news feed proves true, I'm heading to Google+!

13. So annoying

Why can't I have a choice FB
