Is Facebook timeline something to be worried/concerned about? Privacy etc..

So, what do people think of the new timeline? Like it? Hate it? (Not everyone has it yet.)

---(--I guess it doesn't really matter to me because I deleted all my old posts. I like to keep stuff I need, but when I'm constantly thinking of looking back over my old posts/(emails too) it distracts me from the present moment more, and more time gets wasted. That's why I delete most of my posts.)

(I like to use facebook to out my beliefs somewhat, but I have Twitter, so honestly, if it wasn't for a couple friends who I don't always get to see and communication reasons, I probably wouldn't use facebook. Myspace is dead, btw.)

I just got FB timeline yesterday. I think it should be an option if you want it. In my case, timeline made certain things worse. But then again, maybe I manifested this so I could stop wasting time on FB all the time.

I am not going to put it unless FB gets tired and makes it essential for everyone.

Simple rules about privacy.
1. Don't put any material that you do not want to be disclosed online in the first place.
2. Use a separate browsers for FB and browsing other sites. FB also tracks you after you leave the site. Do not do any financial transactions in the same browser. Clear you cookies often.
3. Do not trust any of the companies be it FB, Google or anyone else.
4. Do not be fooled by the argument that it's a free service. Technically it is but not in the way you think.

Great advice!

Also, I think FB timeline is going to be mandatory for everyone, eventually.

I am sure it will be.

It was the same when last time they changed the profile. I absolutely refused to change it despite being cajoled, warned, tempted by FB. It was funny, kind of like a cheesy salesman trying everyday to convince you.

Finally they bullied and changed it themselves.

I like it, I post a lot of pictures of my baby and the way it's set up the pictures are all nice and neat and quick to see when/what I posted, I also like the profile picture option up top.

If you haven't read through this thread already, cheesedip1, you might take a look.

From what I can see, it's a layout change, not a content change.
