Facebook Timeline receives positive publicity after all

 By Rebecca Seay

Today, a CNN article covered the wide range of reactions Facebook's new "Timeline" has brought on. The new Timeline has evoked anger in many Facebook users who don't want the change, fear in those who foresee Facebook forcing the change and then there are those who have embraced the change.

Some users are expressing their creativity through the Facebook Timeline, which allows for a more detailed information, larger photos and more room for design.  The CNN article features a gallery of creative timelines Facebook users have made, allowing those hesitant in switching see the benefits Timeline offers.

Timeline is a very interesting way to map out the life of users or even businesses. Take a look at the New York Time's Facebook Timeline; it goes back before the internet even existed.

The Facebook Timeline is very eye catching and creative, but it is a little confusing to navigate and displays very detailed information about the user. Some fear they will be made to switch to the new look, but so far, Facebook has made it optional since December of 2011.

I am one of the fearful Facebook users, who does not want to be forced to switch to a format I am uncomfortable with, so I am hoping this positive publicity does not give Facebook any drastic ideas.
