Facebook’s Soon to be Facelift

Facebook has given into the pressure of making it customisable.

Well to a certain degree that is.

Introducing ‘Facebook Timeline’. If you’re one who loves sharing who you are, what you did, where you’re from (nobody dare sing ‘As Long As You Love Me’) and just telling the whole world more, then you’re definitely going to have a ball with this upcoming feature from Facebook.

As users begin gearing up for the new look and features, designers began working out a couple of smart designs.
(Yep, we chose this design to be featured for the obvious Steve Jobs reference. R.I.P, Steve)

From the moment you visit your profile page, visitors will get a full view of your cover photo or a video. So you could either impress them with something that’s totally mind-blowing or something that represents you. Users then scroll down for your stories such as your status updates, photos, activities, and finally the apps you chose.

Zuckerberg has promised users that you can choose what you want featured. From photographs to updates and activities whether old or new. One of the main attractions of Timeline (other than your cover photo/video) is the ability for your to feature a story using your photographs. Be it your baby photos all the way to your grown up self now or events leading up to your wedding, you can upload, arrange, and show the world your very own Timeline.

Think of it as a magazine and you’ve got the power to edit the content to your heart’s desire.

With the new Facebook launched just weeks ago, brands saw a seismic drop in their insight graphs with the way posts and updates are delivered to users. However, with Timeline, brands can definitely use it to their advantage and give a whole new user experience for Facebook users. In fact, it’s going to be a whole lot more social on this popular social network (sorry, couldn’t resist that pun).

Well, don’t get all excited and hyped up just yet (like we are), but ‘Facebook Timeline’ is facing a smidge of a legal issue and Mr Zuckerberg is holding on releasing this baby. In the meantime, play around with this new toy here.

However, if you’re really impatient to get on the Timeline bandwagon, then hop over to Mashable as they explain to you how you can fire it up RIGHT NOW over here.

Have fun, kids.
