Click Publish Now or wait until your timeline goes live on May 10. Learn more.

I don't want timeline! Why do you think I picked not to have it. I blame the liberal media

I don't want timeline. I hate it and find it confusing when I look at one.

I already deleted almost everything from my facebook a while ago in case I decide to delete it.

I deactivated mine over a month ago as well. It was clear I was gaining little to nothing out of it.

I already got changed automatically.
It is annoying, but so far it doesn't seem to have triggered the Apocalypse. So far as I can tell, anyway.

Mine also changed to timeline without warning.

I made the dumb mistake of automatically changing it to time line before Christmas because it asked me if I wanted to and they told me that everybody was getting it in January anyway so I thought I might as well get used it it now. If I'd known that I could have waiting until May to change it I would have because I hate it so much. I hardly ever go on Facebook anymore, which I guess could be a good thing because I was too addicted to it anyway.

The only reason I don't delete mine is because the few friends I have on it will complain even though I barely use it and because my poor little fishes in fishville would all get sick and die.

Same here, except for the fishes.

There's still people NOT on timeline :o Congrats for avoiding it this long! I know a number of people here have been put on it automatically ages ago. I got it more than 6 months ago to get used to the new set up, while it looks better graphically it adds pretty much nothing in terms of usability. It just makes finding things more difficult on profiles. One feature I did like though, was being able to jump back to any point with one click.

I opted to give it a try, and I don't find it too be so bad. Actually I have been having loads of fun putting fake "Life Events" and such up there

I hate how big popular websites like YouTube and Facebook randomly change there layouts and for no reason. Most of the time the changes make no scene and don't improve the websites at all.
I still use face book ( sort of ) I rarely ever post anything and I just go there to see what the extended family is up to.

I use Facebook frequently, but it's usually on my phone. I can't even access my timeline unless I go to my profile and take a look at it myself.

I have a feeling Facebook is going to get taken over by another social media site soon. Facebook makes changes way too often. I think people were originally drawn to Facebook for it's originality and simplicity. Now it's just a big mess. I certainly don't use it as much as I used to.
