Facebook Timeline - A Time Machine

A philosopher had once said “The art of progress is to preserve order amid change and to preserve change amid order”; and this holds true with the new Facebook Timeline feature, which has given heart-burns to some users and a whole new cool perspective to others, and a chance for the imagination to go wild through images.

Facebook on the basis of user feedback and suggestions have come out with this new interface of a Timeline - a virtual resume of the user, which can easily be accessed in one single page. It includes loads of information and innovative features, namely the Cover- where one can be introduced though graphic other than profile photos. This large customized photo of the follower is carried on top of the timeline and speaks volumes on his/her creative thoughts, which can go all wild and funny…and can describe a personality in the superlative form. The new interface also includes some of the top photos and stories of the follower that can be highlighted or hidden, or added as per one’s disposition. The user also gets to control the viewership of his/her page and can select the people they want their posts to be viewed. There are also the Review Tag to review ones posts and photos, and the Rewind Button, which takes the user back in time and a freedom to delete pointless posts. The Apps with its information update feature is cool, updating activities automatically. The Activity Log and Info Boxes show information about the user that seldom changes.

So, explore your imagination virtually with the Facebook Timeline and don’t think this technological change as a work of a pathological criminal. Simply visit Facebook Timeline and try and experience its nuances. You never know you are sure to see a new identity of yourself.
