This topic is bound to come up with the recent changes to the home page.
We have all noticed and complained about that huge social network that have gotten its own movie.
Well, ever since the "ticker" option, many users have threatened to quit and switch over to the rising competitor, Google +.

Guess what, silly little people of Facebook? After this new update, you will die. You will convulse with spasms. You will delete every trace of your facebook. Why? Cause the NEW update will contain something unfathomably stalkeristic.

Introducing:

The Facebook Timelines



Yes! It's what you think it is!
A timeline of your entire history on facebook, documenting every single status update you made, how old you were, and it even goes to when you were born. But that's alright, cause everyone loves being a pedobear at one time or another.
Fortunately, your parents never bothered to make a facebook account when you were taking your first steps and uploading all of the baby photos they can onto Facebook (phew).
However, that doesn't mean your timeline from when you were born is empty.
All friends who have their birthdays displayed to their friends/public will have their birthdays stamped onto the timeline.
Pretty stalkerific if you have full access to the profile.
Besides the ticker showing your constant movements, this new feature of Facebook will pretty much map out all of your hilarious/embarrassing statuses and moments for EVERYONE to see! :D (Unless you enabled your privacy settings to the max)

So. Who's ready to switch over to Google+?

[Asif Mahmud]

I'd switch to Google+ if I was 18. Apparently you can't sign up if you're under that. I don't really want to fake my age just to get in, then it makes stuff inaccurate.

The Timeline thing looks kinda nice, I'd like to try it out before I make a major opinion on it.

[ClEMeNt]

This is the internet. Everyone faked their age at some point.

[Asif Mahmud]

Yep, I know that quite well, but to me it's weird for you to be of legal drinking age and having that being shown in front of your friends. I just don't like lying with people involved.

[ClEMeNt]

Then I guess you'll love Facebook timelines when your coworkers/ employers oh so casually checks your facebook and see that you started drinking at 18.
HOORAY FOR FACEBOOK TIMELINES

[Ilya R.]

Eh, I never go ballistic over Facebook changes. This is pretty radical though. It'll take time to get used to but I won't piss and moan about it.

And this is why I don't have a Facebook.

This is super creepy. I wonder if they'll ever give us an option to delete all our history on Facebook all at once(status,notes,links...) and start anew rather than deactivating and creating a new account.

I've never had any problems and I'm registered as 16. Then again, I registered during the restricted period thanks to a friend of mine who invited me when Google+ was limited to those that could join.
