Anyone else gotten FB timeline yet?

This is a cliche gripe about FB changing the layout again, but this time it REALLY sucks!

http://www.cnn.com/2011/12/15/tech/social-media/facebook-timeline-launch/index.html

It makes it so you can click back to previous years all the way back to when the person joined Facebook. When I joined Facebook in 2004, it was just for college students! I didn't know I would eventually be FB friends with my parents!

You can download a preview of the timeline now so that only you can see the new format for seven days (so you can go back and edit or delete anything from previous years). The new layout goes public on 12/22 and everyone will switch over to the new layout then. 

Re: Anyone else gotten FB timeline yet?

  • I just noticed this on somebody else's page this morning. I'm positive some of the stuff I put on there during college would be embarassing to me now.
  • Great. I rarely get on the desktop site since I have my iPhone. I wish fb would just leave things alone.

  • Wow. That totally sucks. I cant remember exactly when I joined FB, but I'm 100% sure I dont want old stuff showing up. There should be a FB page we can "like" or join to fight this.
  • LOL, here is some stuff my friends from college and I found:

    Me on friend 1's wall (2004): "so i heard i was the party again last night... sorry."

    Me on friend 2's wall (2006): "Some guy kept calling me from your phone and asking me if I knew where you were last night. It was around last call and I told him no I did not, but call the (Friend 1's name) listed in your phone and she'll either know or be passed out with Friend 2."

  • Oh no!  To be honest I did not even think of it in that way!  Luckily I am too old to have been on in college, but if I had been I would be panicking right now!!!

    Oh! And SPEAKING OF WHICH, I have a SERIOUS Myspace dillema! When I originally set up my MS account, back in the day, I accidentally left the "t" off the back end of my email (.net). When I try to close out the myspace account, it sends a confirmation email to this email address that I have to confirm. I have tried contacting the Myspace people and no one ever responded. Any ideas on what I can do? I think I need to just go in and delete all the info.

  • omg this is so annoying. I'm trying to see what's on there (I think I was pretty wary of FB and joined only in my last semester, but I'd still like to see what's there), but it keeps freaking scrolling back up etc.

  • How do you test it out and edit? It's not giving me the option anywhere to switch.
  • Users will have up to seven days to arrange their Timeline profile before it becomes public

    Get busy, ladies!
