Poll: Facebook "Timeline"

[snot]

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 . . .
