Facebook has begun rolling out its much anticipated new timeline layout worldwide, offering a new, deeper profile which allows users to ‘fill in’ more of their life pre-Facebook.
Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg described timeline as lettting you ‘tell the whole story of your life on a single page’.
Timeline was released to developers in September, and more than one million people signed up for the beta.
At present, the ‘new look’ is voluntary – but a company spokesperson said it will become compulsory in ‘a few weeks’.
Once available, users can chart their entire Facebook history via Timeline, from their first friend to the most recent status update.
The new look is much more ‘picture-heavy’; friends become big pictures, and the site also posts much larger versions of pictures users have taken, shared or been tagged in.
Timeline will also be open to app developers, so that the information can be used to supercharge apps such as music-sharing application Spotify.
The social network first rolled out Timeline in New Zealand last week in order to monitor speed and performance in an English-speaking country.
That testing apparently went well, and the feature is now available around the globe.
“Timeline gives you an easy way to rediscover the things you shared, and collect your most important moments,” Paul McDonald an engineering manager on the Timeline team, said in a blog post. “It also lets you share new experiences, like the music you listen to or the miles you run.”
Users will get a seven-day review period before their Timeline is posted to the Web, though it can be published earlier, too.
Timeline will replace users’ existing profiles, but stories and photos from that profile will be ported to Timeline.
Users can opt to hide or feature certain stories. To feature something, users need to mouse over the story and click the star to expand it to two columns. The pencil icon will also let users hide, delete, or edit a post.
Posts will include a privacy drop-down menu that lets users select who sees their information: public, friends, only me, or custom.
Timeline adds a new, private feature known as Activity Log, which allows users to review all their posts and activity. Users can also adjust privacy settings via a drop-down menu that lets them decide if an item should be included in Timeline.
The feature is also available on Android phones and via m.facebook.com.
The announcement comes a week after a reporting glitch accidentally exposed Facebook users’ private photos—including those belonging to CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Last month, meanwhile, the Federal Trade Commission announced a settlement with Facebook that requires the social network to be more transparent about its privacy policies and submit to regular audits.
According to the FTC, Facebook “deceived customers by telling them they could keep their information on Facebook private, and then repeatedly allowing it to be shared and made public.”

I think Facebook has made a mistake introducing ‘Timeline’. Facebook should be current, it should contain information on what people are doing “now”. It should be a personal news site.
People don’t want their past being dragged up in front of the masses. Not only does it show comments which some may wish to forget, but it also shows relationship history and statuses that were said ‘of the moment’.
It can also be misleading. At first glance it looks like an addition to Facebook’s features. But actually it’s a complete new profile and once people add it they can’t delete it.
I’ll be very surprised if Facebook doesn’t lose many members down to this.
Sorry Mark, but I’d like to think that my life’s story so far amounted to little more than a page, embellishing aside….
Hope to see more about your article, I have carefully read what

Now all persons have using some Facebook as a social media site and me also. I think Facebook is a best personal or official communication and all types of social sharing site and their timeline thing is really amazing. Now Facebook is a more demanding site, so that is the main point of Google was giving some more priority to Facebook.

Margaret writes, “I am allergic to substances used in very, very many shoes as are soccer jerseys cheap an increasing number of people. “When it first happened to me, I thought I must be crazy. ? Bought a new pair of walking shoes, wore them for one hour with socks on my treadmill, and afterward the skin on the tops of my toes and feet felt irritated and itchy. ? I wore those shoes a total of three one hour stints, resulting in the tops and soles of my feet feeling chemically burned and incredibly itchy. “For weeks, whenever my feet got hot, the intense burning and itching returned, making my feet feel like I’d been stung by bees. ? Since that initial acute reaction, I have developed reactions to many of my other shoes that had not previously bothered me to a noticeable degree. “Thinking I must be nuts, wholesale soccer jerseys I Googled “shoe allergy” and found that I am not crazy and I am not alone. ? I found a forum of people all discussing shoe allergies and a list of the most common allergens, which include glues, dyes, tanning chemicals, rubber accelerators, etc. “My dermatologist had a “shoe kit” and tested me for all the most common culprits, but we?didn’t?find what substance s I am allergic to. ? He said he could continue testing with a longer list, but it would be expensive and then there is the problem?that shoe manufacturers?can’t usually tell you or guarantee you?what is or is not used in any given shoe, anyway. “Now, ?every single pair of shoes I buy, whether?athletic shoes, dress shoes, ?sandals, etc., I have to buy them, wear them around inside for several?hours, and try to determine if my feet are going to react. ? Sadly, most shoes do cause a reaction, and?then I have to return them and start over. ? Margaret. ” I myself have had a wide variety of allergies. ? I found several research studies that confirmed that people have allergies to a wide variety of adhesives, rubber chemicals, and leather treatments used in shoes and insoles. ? Often, the allergy produces contact dermatitis. ? As Margaret points out, this can be painful and distressing. ? Ultimately, you have to learn how to avoid the chemical that is causing it. ? Bec
