Over the last few years, Facebook has grown to be the most popular social networking site on the Internet. The website was once following
in the footsteps of sites such as MySpace, but now has taken over the social networking world and completely rewritten the rule book.
Facebook has made many infamous changes to its look, some accepted and some not so much. The newest change is a big one and is slowly
creeping into many people’s conversations.
The new Facebook timeline asks you to “tell your life story with a new kind of profile.” It has now become available to any user who desires it but will eventually no longer be an option.
With timeline, you’re able to travel back to when you first made your Facebook account and look at statuses, comments, etc. You can also
add “life events,” which are highlights of critical moments in your life, such as moving to another city or state, graduating high school or college, starting a new relationship, etc.
Another new feature is your cover photo, which is essentially a second profile picture. It stretches across your profile like a banner.
Freshman Philip Shutt says that he likes “the set up of it and how you can do more to personalize it”.
On the other hand, Bryan Smith, also a freshman, says that he thinks “it’s cool if you want to stalk someone!”
There obviously have been mixed feelings about the change, but as that new feeling goes away and users start to get used to the timeline, it
will be just Facebook again.
