It's been awhile Facebook having its new profile look. How many of you had change the old profile to timeline view? What are the advantages and disadvantages of having this new profile look?

Wow, this is great! Looks like you really enjoying the new work of Facebook. Hmm... not bad, the cover photo did make me feel good as well when I browsed through my friends' profile; just like it as seems like displaying the nice art work.

Facebook time line is really a very good move on facebook. We can know the activities done on facebook time by time. this feature looks very attractive than old one. It helps to attract people and know when we made friendship with others month wise and date wise. Its cool. I have changed my profile immediately when it introduced. I like it very much.

You're the first one expressing how much you love Timeline here! Wow, you must be really enjoying using this new feature huh? Not only new friends we add monthly, but also the pages we like and number of post from others on user's wall; it's like a summary on activities we'd done.

Well...let me share my point of view. The Timeline view is mainly designed so that users can take a review of older post rather than hard to find them using the old version. That's why it's called "timeline"! But of course, it also bring inconveniences for the new users too; hopefully they look through this matter and improve it. Happy myLotting!

I still have my old profile look on facebook and I don't want to change to timeline as I just like the old look better because it is simple and not complicated like the timeline. Alos, I am used to the old version and quite like it so I won't be switching for a while...

Hmm...many respondents argued the complicated of Timeline which caused them really confused. So I can understood your feelings of not switching it....

Cons: So complicated to set up, I had to have my 13 year old do it! Have to search through categories (often scrolling down) to find recent posts you may care about. I guess I'm just lazy! Pros: I do like the cover page look. It's more magazine-style. The old look often buried more important things like statuses under gaming activities, which is less important. I'm 50/50 on it after using it for a month. I would probably change back if I didn't know they were going to require me to do it eventually anyway. So, it's not all bad, not all good.

There's no the best version but it all depends on the users. Since you'd switched it, all I wanna say is just "enjoy it to the fullest"! Good try, hehe...

I don't like the facebook timeline. I don't know why they changed it! It is really confusing to me. I like the old facebook.

Why they changed it? Hmm...perhaps they want to have some revolution? LOL...there are comments from other user saying the new version is quite nice to use too. Maybe you can give it a try cause sooner or later all user will be forced to switch it. Enjoy!:)

I've not changed it and won't until they force me to. I don't like the timeline because of the way it is formatted. The person's newest posts are broken up weirdly. I'll keep the old version until it automatically changes for me.

Yeah...you had your point of view. It's really strange that for the old version, we only need to look the post through the page downward but for this new version, we need to see left and right to know our friends' latest post. Hopefully Facebook admin will look through comments from the user.

Well dear many users who switched to Timeline have been regretting and complaining about the complexity of this feature. They are all likewise confused and would not know anymore how to manage their Profile. I suffered the same confusion as well. In fact, just like the others I also wish I could go back to the old but that is not possible. Nevertheless as I got used to my Timeline, I noticed this is really better than the old. It gives a more explicit view of the important things posted on my wall. I find it more enjoyable. The only thing you need to do is to just get used and learn how to manage the features then you will see that later Timeline will make you happier.

I have not yet, but I was considering it. I don't really like how it slows down the loading of the page, and beyond that I don't like the idea of it in general. It reminds me of MySpace, which has been out for what, like 3 years now? *Rolls eyes*. I heard that all of the old profiles will eventually have to be switched over to the 'timeline' version. This makes me sad. . Ha ha. Oh well, what can you do? Happy MyLotting!
