Facebook looking to change up your Timeline…again

I'm generally a fan of timeline, but for two problems: 1) I wish that when I opened my "Friends" section that they were alphabetical. Searching, indexing, and grouping friends is ridiculously tedious, and every time you make a change that makes the page reload they randomize again so you can't simply pick up where you left off. And 2) fine, I get that you "need" advertising to help the business "suceed" but there are so many sponsored ads and "pages you may like" popping up in my feed (especially bad on my iphone) that I feel like I don't even see my friends feeds anymore, which was kinda the point. I'm really careful of tightening down permissions and privacy, I absolutely never click "like" on random product pages like Duracell or Bounty, yet I get these suggestions constantly. As well, when a friend "likes" a product (I'm not actually convinced they ever clicked on it, I think FB is just whoring my friend's names) I get a full size picture and ad splashed all over my feed.

I know people are always complaining that "FB sucks, no more changes or I'm gonna delete", but seriously? The whole point of having Facebook is to connect with my friends and it's almost non-functional in that way, now. I'm on my way out very soon.

I hate timeline. I never switched to it in the first place, but they did it for me automatically. I can't wait for the new look. Hope it's like the old one or better than that!

I hate the ADS

I never switched to time line it was done automatically. I hate it ! I think it should have been an option to begin with and if you didn't like it there should be the option to uninstall/delete from facebook

hate the new time line

hated the new timeline sure i wont like what your doing now dont fix it if it isnt broken

Timeline is terrible, cannot post photos, places lived is confusing........very disorganized and should be simplified.....changing every year is not good

The promo video they had posted for timeline really enticed me, so I switched voluntarily. The problem was (and remains) the ads. Because the timeline runs in vertical, descending order, every time I scroll down to fill in some gaps before I registered on Facebook, I inevitably scroll down far enough that the ads disappear from view. Again, this is the only way I am able to access these bygone years to add content. But as soon as I try that, the site seems aware that I can no longer see the ridiculous adds, and they just appear in the space I had opened up on the chronology, bumping me to the top of the browser window, and putting me back to present day on my timeline. Thus, I am not able to modify my timeline, even though I love the concept. I assume other people wouldn't be able to view it either. So it's utter garbage, in my opinion. I wouldn't bother now, even if it worked. Maybe it was a waste of my time to begin with.

Have a good day :)

Hate the new timeline, they decided for me

I don't like the timeline. It was good the way it was before. It should be an option for the user of facebook to have timeline or not.

if you use "google chrome" for your browser you can use ad block and then you don't see all those ads

STOP CHANGING FACEBOOK!!!!!!!!!
TIMELINE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was not my choice to change to the timeline. I don't like it! I really do not like that when you send a private message to someone, it appears on the timeline. So much for privacy. I hope that things can get back to the way it used to be.

I have stopped using facebook as often as I was because I can't stand timeline. It looks totally disorganized and was a definite step back for facebook. I welcome any changes that rectifies the chaos of timeline.

I hate Timeline!!!!!!

I hate the timeline and can't imagine the new change will be any better

I pretty much hate the timeline and can't see the new change being any better

I do not like the timeline and cannot see where the change will be any better, just leave well enough alone already

Yeah... When I first read about the timeline becoming mandatory, and how you would have to make the changes in your profile before it took effect or they would be forever, I decided to dump FB altogether.

I'll admit to missing some of the far away friends I had made while on FB, I don't regret for a minute actually getting rid of it.

As far as I can see, the only possible reasoning for adding timeline in the first place was to allow FB the opportunity to change the programming to link ads to ANYTHING

Dont fix whats not broken! Due to always changing, i barely use it anymore. The only reason i still have it is because its easy to talk to friends away!

Sorry, pushed the wrong key...

As far as I can see, the only possible reasoning for adding timeline in the first place was to allow FB the opportunity to change the programming to link ads to ANYTHING you posted, liked or were tagged in.

I believe the decision to go public was solely to offer the chance to buy in to those that had the most to gain by being shareholders. That would be the companies that want to have more access to your information so they can target you even more than they do now.

Really, I don't know why anyone would want to invest in FB, when all they seem to produce is aggravation.

Free yourselves, give FB the boot. That's the only thing they'll actually respond to...

I HATE TIMELINE, HOPE U HEARD THAT MARK Zuckerberg. ALSO HATE ALL THE ADS ALL OVER MY SCREEN, THEN AGAIN I GUESS EVERYONE WHO MAKES SHIT LOADS OF MONEY IS A SELLOUT.
LIKE TO C THE ADS DISSAPEAR AND RETURN TO THE ORIGIONAL LOOK

DONT FIX IT IF IT AINT FUKIN BROKE

Interesting.... I never changed to Timeline and I wasn't forced to either. I still have (and prefer) the old style FB.

F*** Facebook.
