What to do About Facebook Now that Timeline is Here?
Posted by Marti Weston on December 15, 2011
If you or your children or your aging parents are active Facebook users, take a look at these articles and continue to follow the news on the just introduced Timeline feature. Looks like, despite setting our privacy controls, that our information will be widely shared. We may have some decisions to make.
What to do? Google + is looking awfully good right now. Still, I’ve deleted a few things and set up my timeline.

I just wrote a blog in lieu of this Timeline issue. I am an avid FB user, and if/when this becomes a mandatory change, I will no longer be apart of the millions. I based my post more on the impact it has made on friendships and how FB has essentially made friendships in a sence lazy. I have joined Google+ and I love it….just kinda stinks I can’t get all my friends to do the same!!
