You and Facebook Covers and Profile Timeline

Image via Wikipedia

Change seems to be inevitable on Facebook and now another one, a big one called Timeline, has been rolled out in New Zealand before making it worldwide. This profile is a totally new design that needs getting used to for you to navigate comfortably as you say goodbye to the old version. This visually-rich design begins with a so-called cover in which you introduce yourself with an image that is quite large. The Facebook Covers and Profile Timeline are definitely a big change in this social networking site.

Following the cover, which is on the top part of the new layout, will be the main section of your stories and photos as well as all the previous posts. This will go back to the very first entry on your wall and will be sort of an online yearbook of your life. New entries will appear in this section and you can easily share everything with various social apps to express yourself, including such items as the songs you like. It will be here where your friends can know what’s up in your life and join in what you do. While the posts on the old version of Facebook profile were arranged in chronological order that required scrolling, this time it will be more of clicking than scrolling as you pull up a timeline in your life, say the year 2010. And be prepared to do things on two columns rather than just one.

Obviously Facebook is making these changes and many more to keep them on top of the online social networking world, especially since other sites are competing with their own special features. Will the millions of Facebook users like the new Facebook Covers and Profile Timeline so much so that they will stay with Facebook or will some of them get tired of the many recent changes?

‘Hey! Problem at school?’, I asked her.

‘Yeah! Major problem!’, she yelled raising her arms dramatically.

‘Our school administration blocked Facebook’, she explained. ‘How can they do that?! Facebook connects me to my friends. It’s where I upload photos, share video and music… it’s part of my teenage life!

‘Calm down now’, I said chuckling. ‘It’s not the end of the world’

‘Oh, it is for me! , she retorted. ‘I need that site!’

She eyed me sheepishly. ‘You’re the computer geek. How do we get a Facebook unblock at school?’

‘Well, since you are my favorite sister-in-law, I’ll tell you how’, I replied tapping her hand, and straightened up and started my lecture.
