Facebook Timelines will finally debut in the next few days world wide, essentially changing the entire profile interface of 600 million users. This massive role out will include Facebook Covers, the ability for users to customize the top portion of their facebook profile. Furthermore the new technology update will automatically convert all their content and index it from the day you were born to present day all on a single web page.

Will users accept or deny the changes. In the past, Facebook users have relatively dominated the direction that FB has been going in with complaints of Privacy, interface changes and changes, and the way they use Facebook. For the past few years, Facebook has been battling privacy right groups over the way a person can control
their pages, complaining that information from their profiles are getting into the wrong hands.

Several months ago, several MIT graduates tested Facebook's security by creating a Facebook Bot that scoured Facebook and collected data from user profiles. It went around Facebook's security by only collected a couple thousand emails and names a day and not causing a major disturbance to their network. For months, it layed undetected by Facebook until MIT published their findings.

Facebook Timelines I believe will come with mixed thoughts. At first I enjoyed it alot. I think it adds a slur of technology to the web that we've never seen before. I dislike the fact that it seems a bit unorganized in displaying items. Sometimes you will have big blocks of empty space at the top of the page depending on how the facebook structure is. I do love the whole idea of Facebook Covers though. It adds something very unique that most social networks have tried doing but failed.

Myspace allowed customization, but it became clustered with junk, random music playing per page, and HTML of all different sorts. I think Facebook actually has nailed the concept of personality with professionally sleek looking pages. They do need to improve the "blockyness" of the timeline. If they can knock out that issue, FB Timelines will be a hit.

Be sure to get your free facebook covers at BP's sister site. FreeFacebookcovers.org is a fun side project of BP. If you wish to help out on there, please contact Davee on skype at davee@buypoe.com. i am mostly looking for new covers to be submitted. You will have access to the backend.
