If you haven't yet become acclimated to this doozy, it's basically an automated autobiography for the masses, a way for every single person to record and share the story of their lives. Where you've been, who you've been, what you've thought, all of it, laid out like one giant scrapbook. You can manually add photos and content from your past, all the way back to when you were born. AHH!
You better hide yo kids, hide yo wife! As if Facebook wasn't creeper central enough as is.
Sure, I have been averse to this new change from the very beginning. I'm sorry but I'd prefer not having my dirty laundry aired from when I first joined the social network in 2006 until now. Who knows what pictures, posts, exchanges with ex's will surface and embarass the life out of me?
The fact that the rollout of this Timeline feature was delayed by legal issues back in September should be a red-flag. The fact that they can inconvenience 800 million users with this requirement is ridicule. (Okay, some people like the new view, so not quite that many.
Looking for a way to easily hide everything without seperately deleting each and every item?Fortunately, you have some control over the new feature: Check out how to edit your Facebook Timeline before making it public. At a very least, I'd reccommend reviewing these guides to FB privacy settings to ensure your safety. If you are obliged to conform with the masses, here's a handy guide to Master Facebook's timeline.
Anyone convinced to deactivate their account with this girl yet? Twitter anyone?

I've been off facebook for over a year! If I ever go back I'll be soooo lost haha
Ugh I switched mine about a month ago knowing "doom day" would come...and it looks like it's on it's way. Boo! Yet another reason I spend way more time on Twitter than FB these days.
Ugh Facebook sucks. I only have it because I want to keep in touch with bloggy stuff and also people I meet at conventions. My personal FB however, with family and such on, is bare as hell.
I'm also depressed over Picnik closing, but here's some alternatives if you wanna check them out: http://www.thesitsgirls.com/education/photo-editing-sites-like-picnik/
I was so md when I saw that Picnik was closing. SO LAME.

I'm so bummed about Picnik! And WHAT?! about Facebook Timeline? I had no idea it was going to be mandatory. Ughhh I hate it.
I'm pretty convinced to deactivate. Why can't they just leave facebook alone. I already sick of it, but only keep it to see pictures that my friends post, but I think I'm officially done. Thanks for sharing.
Ahh! I didn't know about the facebook thing- now I'm a little scared.
I am soooo upset that Picnik is closing! But at least it isn't until April. I have NO IDEA what I'm going to do for collages after Picnik closes :( Booooooo. Any advice??
I'm bummed about Picnik as well. And as for the timeline thing ... I recently switched to it (not realizing you can't go back once switching) ... and wasn't a fan. I'm actually thinking of deleting my facebook account (this will be the second time), and not going back.
I must be mad, because I actually don't mind Timeline, hahah!
I'm more upset abou GFC being discontinued for non-Blogger blogs! My blog is powered by Wordpress, but I still use GFC for people to subscribe to me. :(
Just dropping by from Hollie's linkup.
