Facebook goes app crazy with new Timeline platform.
but timeline looks bloody awful!
Looks awful, runs awful. I would dearly like to turn off 'infinite scroll' as using the 'scroll bar' it is very frustrating to use, not everyone uses a wheel mouse some people use these things called laptops.Quote:

WHoever designed it needs a basic course in Human Computer Interaction, this was clearly designed by a boardroom
What?! The box to make a post is always on the top left, beneath the header section. How difficult can it be to find?Quote:

I'm actually usually quite pro-change in facebook (in moderation/infrequent) and feel that a lot of people are afraid of change...however, this timeline thing is quite comfortably one of the worst things I've ever seen on facebook. It's a Human-Computer Interaction disaster; all of the posts appear to be side by side, yet there's no consistency as to which post is going to be in the left and whether the next 2-3 posts in a row will be on the right and frankly, it's a nightmare for quick-reading.
Is there a way to choose whether you want to view someone's profile in Timeline or not?
Social networking sites either keep evolving or they die. Just look at what happened to MySpace.Quote:

Yes, evolve, meaning to improve through selection. Not devolve into a load of unstructured crap.Quote:

And figuring out how to make a post doesn't equate to it being an optimal UI or an improvement of any kind. I'm being 'obstinate' because it's a reduction in software quality, not an improvement.Quote:
