Why You Will Love the New Facebook Timeline

Facebook has a new feature, and you’ve probably heard of it by now. Facebook Timeline is one of the most innovative changes to Facebook in a long time. It’s slowly creeping in with only a small percentage of profiles being granted the ability to switch to Timeline. Now, you can choose to opt-in to Timeline anytime you want to. You might as well do it now, because in the near future all profiles will be automatically and permanently changed to Timeline. Yes, it’s a radical difference from the old profile you’re used to, but don’t be afraid.  Here are 3 reasons why you will love the new Facebook Timeline.

Why You Will Love the New Facebook Timeline |Design and Splash Photos

Quite possibly the best thing about Facebook Timeline is the incredibly fresh design. Two columns of wall posts make for an appealing layout that’s easy to navigate, and it just looks good. The top of your profile will provide a small and succinct summary of you with your job, who you’re married to if applicable, your education, and where you live. The rest of the information, such as friends, photos and “likes” are all contained in neat little boxes. One of the coolest features that adds the most appeal to the design is that you can choose a splash photo that will appear in a large rectangle at the very top of your profile. This picture is different from your profile picture, which is displayed in a smaller box overlapping the splash photo. You can have fun choosing this photo and make it something that really illustrates you or adds great character to your page.

 Why You Will Love the New Facebook Timeline |Facebook Stalkers Rejoice

Facebook is great for a lot of things like communicating with your friends and family, sharing information about yourself, and connecting with businesses and other interests. It’s also a voyeuristic guilty pleasure. You love getting first-hand looks into the lives of people you barely know. You’re fascinated by the photos and comments they post, and the more salacious the better. Many people don’t have a filter when it comes to what they feel comfortable sharing online, and you love it.

With Facebook Timeline, you can take your Facebook stalker tendencies to the next level. Now, everyone’s profile will become a playground of private information. It’s never been easier to get a deep, inside look into anyone’s Facebook activities. Before, if you wanted to see something someone did in the past on Facebook, you’d have to click and scroll through pages and pages of wall posts, and most likely you’d never get to what you were looking for. Now, you can quickly and easily jump to activity that occurred in any year, and Facebook will prominently display all the highlights for you.

Why You Will Love the New Facebook Timeline |Rediscover Yourself

The best part about the way Timeline makes your entire Facebook life easy to access is that not only can you learn a lot more about your friends, you can also rediscover yourself. If you’ve had a Facebook profile for a number of years, chances are you’ve changed a lot since you first signed up. With Timeline, you can have a blast delving deep into your Facebook past and remembering the good, and not so good, times, statuses, comments, and posts. Timeline gives you the ability to take a nostalgic journey back through your Facebook progression. And if you see something you’re unhappy with and want to keep others from viewing, you can easily click the “Hide from Timeline” button. But what’s the fun in that? Facebook Timeline will give you unparalleled insight into the online history of yourself and everyone else.
