Facebook’s new Timeline profile is really, really cool, and you were supposed to be using it by now. Unfortunately, the site’s 750 million users are going to wait, Mashable reports. Why? That stupid, pissant trademark infringement lawsuit.
Here’s how it’s going to play out: Facebook is a massive, massively rich company which can afford the best possible lawyers in the world. Timelines.com is the opposite of that. Even if their claims had some validity to them—which they don’t—Facebook would prevail. That’s just sort of how it works! But again, they don’t have a single toe to stand on here. Facebook’s Timeline profile and Timelines.com to completely different things. And yes, crying sad internet baby, Facebook Timeline shows up before you on Google, because Facebook is Facebook.
You can still switch over to Timeline manually if you don’t feel like waiting for the legal table-slapping to end, but the new profile should still activate for the general public pretty soon, unless a judge sides with Timelines.com. This is unlikely. [Mashable]

Thanks Timelines.com for prolonging the time till I have to hear everyone on my news feed complain and bitch about the change and how they are gonna demand it reverts back and if not they are leaving for the 100th time.

Precisely, I seem to spend more time wading through the river of people bitching about changes to Facebook than actually connecting with people.
This x10. Also, those goddamn chanil mail-style “repost this if you believe yadda yadda…”
True, but I still can’t understand how Facebook manage to fuck these things up so badly. Got to wonder who thought “Nah… No-one would really want to just have things sorted chronologically, we’ll just get rid of that.”
I hate those chain mail messages, and the awful ability you gain from being emo and ranting on Facebook about every single one of the worlds disasters like “omg how can I drive and update Facebook when this guy in front of me is driving slow and doing the same” I have been “cold turkey” off Facebook for 3 days now and I don’t miss it. Using a combination of email and my Steam client, I can keep in touch with those who I actually engage with regularly. It’s even made me rethink how I use my iPad (but even then the FB app is shocking based on my own experience of lost notifications and crashes)
Sorry you unleashed some hidden bitterness there.. unintentionally.. I’ll go to my corner now..
