More big changes coming for Facebook. Your profile will soon morph into a timeline, documenting your life as shared on Facebook.

I actually like this current change and the timeline thing looks interesting to me.

Agree, things get boring and stagnant when they don't change.

I agree, as long as it's not change just for the sake of change...if it's an improvement over the status quo, then do it, but if something ain't broke, don't fix it.

I don't dig the change. I will keep using it but probably not as much as I used to.

Do you mean the real change that's about to happen (timeline and such) or the tiny change that just happened?

Can you imagine the outcry when the new format drops. "zomg I hate this new layout....wahhhhhhh wahhh"

The way it is now. I liked getting on and hitting "most recent" on the news feed and being done with it. I don't see a problem with people being ok with it but I also don't see why it's a big deal if people don't like it.

This new timeline thing looks pretty cool. Can't wait to actually see it in use.

i will probably use it a lot less once the timeline comes out. i am not using facebook to document my life and dont use apps there either. just a basic user. for the younger kids who dont have a real social life, facebook will be great for them.

I totally agree. Its innovative and actually could totally improve the user experience.

Contrasted with this latest update which just moved shit around.

I have absolutely no problems with changes for the better, but some out there will complain either way.

Facebook is pretty relevant for me because I use it to keep up with friends from HS and College even though we all live in different cities now. Also have tons of friends getting married and starting to have kids, so that ability to share pictures and stuff is cool.

same here, thats why i use it. however the new timeline thingy seems to be moving away from that. to me its getting closer to the point where you will no longer go out to see people, you will just hang out on facebook watching a tv show etc.

So, when does Facebook complete the transformation of becoming completely self-aware?

the internet itself, not just facebook has already done this to people. think about it, you would be able to learn everything you could about your "friends" without ever having to talk to them.

I've yet to meet a person who has replaced their real life social life with an internet one that would have had a social life even if the internet didn't exist.

This. I use Facebook quite a bit during the week, but on the weekends I'm hardly ever on because I'm out socializing w/ friends. Same with the OC, I don't post much on weekends at all.
