This post follows on from the theme of my previous post, where I spoke about checking in on Facebook as a way of chronicling my life - a type of journal if you will. I recently installed the new developers version of Facebook timeline on my profile so I could check it out prior to launch.
Now, I'm generally pretty averse to changes (especially on my Facebook) - I'm a girl of habit! However, I surprised myself when I realised that I actually REALLY like the new timeline. I've always been more of a visual person and I think this is why it appeals to me - everything is laid out really clearly and it's really simple and intuitive to use. I had lots of fun playing aroud with the interface to see how I could customise my timline - and it was simple!
Scott Monty, at The Socia Media Marketing Blog gives a really nice overview of the changes that've been made and some of the implications for marketers.
And, just for fun, love this post on Mashable about creative timeline covers!
I haven't actually checked out the whole timeline thing, and haven't really done much research on it either, however, people who know a bit more about it, share your view, the idea that I's getting is that generally it is a liked product. I do however wonder (only based on the little bit I know about it) whether this will mean a lot for marketers?
