Facebook Timeline mandatory

So all of you Facebook users out there, have you switched over to the new timeline yet? If not, get ready! According to a Facebook blog post, in the next few weeks it will become mandatory for ALL Facebook users!! Now, what the new timeline does is list all of your Facebook activities by date. Your home page will have a whole new look! You will have the chance to add Life Events or for some, CLEAN UP PAST EVENTS! With this new timeline, all of your past activity will be out there for people to see. So those past posts that you thought were not visible any longer, well WATCH OUT! They will be there FOR ALL TO SEE! You will be given 7 days to add or clean up your Facebook activities before it goes live. This doesn’t seem like much time to rewrite your life does it?? Just another change that Facebook is rolling out! And it seems that there are A LOT of people out there that are not happy about it!! According to Forbes magazine a surprising 70% of people said they didn’t like timeline. What do you think?? Now, I have switched to the timeline but boy do I miss the old Facebook. No tickers, no timelines…just a nice break from your day to check in on what everyone else is doing!;)
