Facebook forces Timeline onto users by August 8

[Jazzy]

Facebook users will be forced into using Timeline, its new profile page, which allows members to tell the story of their life on a single page, in less than a week's time.



Until now, the change to the new-look Facebook, has been voluntary. But Facebook’s 800 million users around the world no longer have a choice as Timeline has been made compulsory starting from August 8. Users who have yet to switch to the new look are being served a preview of their redesigned profile before it goes live to their friends on in six days time.



From the point when a user clicks 'get Timeline', they have seven days to play around with the new profile. However, the new look is now compulsory for all users.

If you use Facebook, how do you feel about this?

Honestly, I've gotten used to Timeline now and it doesn't bother me. I think the annoyance comes from not being used to the changes.

At first I hated it, but now I got used to it...

 

[Kahnai]

I think they already forced it, because my Sister logged into hers some time ago and hers had already changed.



It's not a big deal, I think they should have left it as a choice but oh well...

Had it on my gaming account for quite a few months. Hated it then, hate it now. Still waiting for it on my main account. Won't be using facebook nearly as much. In fact am looking to delete my account when it comes in. Just need to get other ways of contact out to my mates and download my pictures.

And the fact that everything you ever wrote is now on one page!

It was before, you just had to keep clicking view more.

They are trying very hard to follow MySpace into oblivion.



And.



Given Facebook's stock price right now....



They're doing a bangup job of it.

I've gotten used to it since they forced it on me months ago. But I still prefer the old look.

 

[Raven]

They are 11 days late.. I'm still on the old one.



Mind you now saying that i'll probably have it forced on me by the end of the day!

True, but it wasn't as easy to be viewed, thats what I mean't.
