Hope Goldman Sachs hasn't bought v7n yet.

* Even if I post less often than I ought to.

That is why we maintain both because everyone has different preferences.

Almost friends of mine has applied timeline on their facebook profile except me. Its look is attractive but complicated too. A big image covers half part of pages and you have to scrawl much to read the page. I want to avoid it till i could not unsderstand the formula

I find the timeline really annoying to use

Well i don't really think timeline is a bad option it sure is a usefull in many ways even for marketing they have done so many things that we can use to target the audience better here is one of the article i was reding i hope this could help the marketers..

The new Facebook timeline has been creating excitement and interest and since Facebook started rolling out the previews for the new timeline for fan pages. It will certainly lead to a lot of posts on the subject and has become the social media fashion trend. Here are listed the basic elements and you need to know in order to rock the new timeline layout for pages.

1. The Timeline Cover Photo
One of the major aesthetic changes coming to the new page layout of the Facebook is noticeably the Timeline Cover Photo. If you are going to use a timeline photo it should be around 850 x 315 pixels in dimension. It should be noted that these photos are huge on page and take up some major screen real estate. So try your best to make it pretty. If you want to use some excellent timeline photos for your Facebook page, all you have to do is open GraphicRiver where you can find customized photos so you can edit the text and photos in Photoshop.

You can not rollback to the old version. Facebook mentioned that all user's will be getting the timeline as it is set in stone.

Give it time to get used to it.

I think this is pretty important to consider when designing Facebook pages for brands or companies, or at least providing some hard facts on the importance of these areas on the page and which content we should be directing our efforts.

yes, currently i am using in my account but it confusing as you said but it can br may be as we were used to of older version after sometime it will be easy as per my point of view

timeline is very confusing for me :-/

I agree about the business pages... hard to keep the marketing presentation with the new timeline. It certainly encourages more posting and interaction to stay current - guess that makes it worthwhile for Facebook! The static-type page will not convert easily under the new tineline format...requires some new thining and creativity for business interaction and presentation.

Well I like timeline, all the Facebook data is organized, but there should be an option to change it back to normal, not changing back is totalitarian.

[jeresteem99]

timeline is really great for business company.

I feel like i'm old, i find it hard to convert to new stuff. Therefore, i am w8 for "forced timeline",i wont switch manualy.

I had hard times to convert from win 98 to windows xp, and again from xp>win 7. always forced

After freading these posts I think I am going to take some time to understand this timeline. Actually I find it confusing, but it might really be my resistant to the change. I had to place an add recently and it offered some amount of challenge, as on the original FB page it was very easy to find the "create add" command. i now have to scrool to the end and click advertising. Is there a eaiser way?

Yes, you'll get used to it. Facebook is known to give surprises every now and then, you just have to get used to of its new features every day

Same, I find timeline to be refreshing look to what Facebook page used to look like. My company's facebook page transition to timeline wasn't difficult at all. Getting to know all the functions took a few minutes.

I personally dig the big cover on top too!
