Facebook is going to make its Timeline compulsory to all Facebook users according to an update I saw from Yahoo Finance.
I am not sure about you, but I prefer the old format compared to Timeline (read the post by Smosh- quite funny). When I visiting pages of friends who have installed the Timeline, the entire page sort of hang and the loading time is slow. So usually I do not stay more than a few seconds in those pages with Timeline….probably because my own timeline to surf is so limited. I don’t own a Smartphone (and have no immediate plans of getting one) therefore I cannot surf on the go and while working. And my company has cleverly banned Facebook from its public internet access (something that I am thankful because in my previous company where there was no internet page restrictions, sometimes I find myself mindlessly surfing net and it affected my productivity).
Last time I love to login to Facebook to send comments- but now, I’ve disciplined myself to focus on blogging with the little time I have to blog (after office hours or weekends, divided between family, housework and outings). Facebook Addiction Disorder (FAD) is now an officially diagnosed psychological disorder as per what was recently published in the papers- yes, it is easy to get addicted to Facebook and sometimes,Facebook can make you hit rock bottom if you are already down in the dumps.
Well, you cannot control what you don’t own
Facebook is a free access tool- and because we do not own it, basically we have no say of what they want to implement. Well, you can complain and rant all you want- but once the ones on top decides on something, there’s nothing much that can be done.
