Timeline

Facebook began rolling out a dramatic new look for its 800 million users Thursday. It's called Timeline and turns your profile page into a digital scrapbook. It's how you can tell the whole story of your life on a single page according to a comment made by Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook chief executive, in September. According to a Denver Post article, Facebook places a notification box at the top of profile pages when a user is eligible for Timeline. After accepting the update, users will have seven days to play around with new features before friends will see their new profile. One might note that the opt-in period will be available for a few weeks, after which Facebook will begin moving the people who have not yet opted in over to the new profile. The article suggests double checking your privacy settings because Facebook has a reputation for updating those without warning. Of course 9 news had to show Tim Teboe's page.
