Who the heck is Andy Sparks?
Whereas the old #fb might have been healthy narcissism-lite, within the next few weeks, whether you have the time to review whatever you have previously put on Facebook, you will be asked to change to a new feature. Timeline is what Facebook would have you believe is a beautiful, powerful, compelling, fulfilling, innovation that appears to me as really just narcissism with a capital N!
The Timeline interface is Facebook’s most radical change thus far, and should help differentiate Facebook from other social networking programs that hope to compete with it, such as Google®

Would you like your whole personal history laid out by month-by-month, all the way back to your birth, like Andy Sparks? I am not sure the traction my life has in the marketplace, but maybe Timeline will rev-up interest in the “new” slicker, packaged, Mark Pillsbury. But when are they going to make me do it? That is the important question!

If you voluntarily decide to switch to Timeline now, you’ll have (7) seven days to make changes to your profile before Facebook pushes it live onto the worldwide platform. You can make it public yourself anytime within the one-week period. These guys from Palo Alto don't mess around.
Timeline is like a digital scrapbook with OCD, collecting every detail, no matter how trivial, in chronological order; however businesses pay Facebook to feature posts and activity mentioning their brands within your timeline with priority, amounting to “product placement” in the movie of your life. That is how Facebook will generate stacks and stacks of advertising cheddar.
Trust me, the ads that currently pop-up over on the right are getting smarter because of this feature and Facebook is very powerful even though it seems to be free.
