Once again we have been amazed by the quick changes FB as
always. Its fun to watch the Giant of Social Networking making changes so fast
that users get uncomfortable.
One good thing about the changes is that there are new feeds in
the side and people are able to keep track of their friends and relatives
closely and much easily. The bad thing, for obvious reasons is now that privacy
is hindered. Friends know when you are online and if you have a high EQ or if
your counterparts have a higher EQ they will be affected Emotionally if you
don't comment or reply to their posts.
But concerns apart there are new changes that are coming and
these have not just made it more transparent but also there is a professional
social touch to it. The way the organization of all the feeds is done on a
single page is amazing, but what is more amazing is the new screen that is due
launch on 1st Oct. 2011. Yes if you are guessing it right then it’s the new
timeline page that Facebook has introduced for the developers and is about to
be launched. If you are not a developer and don't want to mess around it will
be better to wait till the final look arrives in another week. A preview of the
same is shown below.

This look justifies the changes that have been made till date
and the introduction of the feeds. But it just does not stop there, the best
part is that you can see all of your Facebook history with the year specified
and add comments to it. It can be assumed as the Facebook profile or rather
your own social book or diary now.
Yes everything and all the activities till date done on Facebook
with the dates are aligned together with a timeline. You can browse through all
the activities done on you wall and the posts. There is less to tell about it
than to feel since Facebook becomes in a way your diary, which contains all
your memories with your colleagues, college mates and school friends. This look
is the best possible outcome and experience, which a person can gain from a
social site, catering to the needs of a person personally making him attached
to his social life once again in a world of internet and chat. The first look i
had after opening the page was WOW this is something i wanted deep inside but
never got the idea.
Kiddos to all the Facebook developers out there.

And the comments about timelines from the Facebook post of Bret Taylor
"Yesterday we announced a new version of profile pages, called Timeline. It is such a great change. Timeline is truly personal and customizable, and it is so much more beautiful than our current profile page. Watch the video and read about it - we will be rolling it out over the next couple weeks.
After you watch the video, I'd love to hear what you think. As someone who has loved seeing friends and family members build scrapbooks over the years, I have had such a positive experience with the product so far. Looking at a friend's timeline is like sitting down and having them flip through a photo album in their living room - a personal, nostalgic experience. I am really proud of the team that put so much effort into the design and implementation of the product."
This is something really perfect in a way. :)
So go ahead guys and register for the switch which is out to be soon there. And for developers and geeks visit the link to have a preview of the same.
