Who else HATES the new Facebook timeline?

lolMy friends were all like "Get it! It's awesome!" but I really hate it now. Things are all over the place, and, if you scroll down, you can see EVERY SINGLE status you put (in my case, for example) in 2010. Why would people care about what I did on June 4, 2010? I know some people are like "Who cares about the profile, it's all about what is on the newsfeed!" well for me, the public profile represents who you are, so it's very important.

I haven't been 'converted' yet.. It looks horrible, and is way too personal.Seriously, the YouTube homepage is absolutely horrific, and now Facebook is changing. :( I swear developers don't realise "If it isn't broken, don't fix it"!Does Timeline become compulsory? I read somewhere it was meant to be implemented 2 days ago, that never happened..

Only just got back in to flight simming and Avsim after a year or so - pardon me whilst I find my feet again!

Facebook is broken, YouTube is broken and Google is about to break. The Facebook timeline feature is compulsory in some date in 2012, but Facebook is known to take 3 steps forward and 2 steps back, so expect them to revert back.Aaron G.

I agree with Sam... If it ain't broken, don't fix it! I absolutely HATE the new YouTube channel layout.... Facebook timeline also sucks. It seems like AVSIM is the only website that has never been changed. :(

Don't speak to soon regarding AVSIM. Tom said he had more changes for AVSIM up his sleeve.Aaron G.

Not the forums, the actual files website. However, I'd like to see a new layout there. But no drastic changes like YouTube... PLEASE.

Actually, I hate Facebook (and all such social networking sites), period. Seriously, I could give a tinker's damn about what Arnie had for dinner, so why would I care about a photo of it either?Although one could argue that the existence of social networking has provided a venue for "getting out news" such as the remarkable reporting on the so-named "Arab Spring", it is likewise responsible for such travesties as the "Flash Robs" and such antisocial uses to which it has been put.IMHO, the damage from the latter far outweighs the benefits of the former.

I like it a lot actually.I'm normally a person that likes change though. Haven't seen the youtube thing since I dont use youTube, except to view videos of cats that people post on FB!However FB does get on my nerves a lot though. I'd actually be fine skimming through posts about people's dinner if I didn't have to read the ones that sound like this:"Wish me luck, I'm about to embark on something and I don't know where I'll end up."or"Just when I thought things couldn't get worse I'm proven wrong again..."Then they don't bother explaining what in the world they are talking about. Sorry but if it's too personal to put there, don't mention anything at all.
