Finally the waiting is over. Facebook today announced that Timeline is now available for everyone worldwide.
Timeline is a new type of profile page which allows users to add any information they feel worth sharing with friends or public like when they born, when they graduated and many more. Not only adding major life events you can also add any special memories at certain point of your life. Unlike other traditional way of managing your social networking profile, Timeline offers a slite different way to manage and showcase your profile.
Facebook announced Timeline in September 2011 at Facebook f8 conference. Since then it was available for Facebook developers to write and test their new applications which targets this new feature. Dreamsrain has provided steps to activate Timeline for other users. Many of our readers activated the Timeline and most of them deactivated. Recently officially started roll out of Timeline and the first to get was New Zealand. Facebook Timeline is getting mixed feedback from users. Major concern with Timeline is privacy. As Timeline encourages users to add lot of information of their life may lead to identity theft.
Users need to be more careful from now onwards when they are adding any information to their Facebook profile. Activity log feature lets users easily manage what should appear on Timeline. You can also use impersonation feature to find out how your Timeline appears for your friends and public.

I find the layout confusing – it is more difficult to take in what’s on the page, and if it doesn’t go back I will leave facebook.
OMG GET RID OF FACEBOOK TIMELINE RIGHT NOW!!! it looks horrible and I’m spending way less time on it because of it. it’s just unappealing
i want to remove ny timeline on fb!!! how???
I want to remove timeline and return to my old profile . I think it’s dedicatory to be not an option.

I detest Timeline…please please please..help me get rid of it.
I want my old profile back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate timeline~!
How do I get rid of this timeline…I hate it too..why is it not an option to remove it????????????????????????
Please delete the timeline, it’s a mess. I want the old profile back NOW!! Please tell us how to delete it, there are a lot of spams out there to remove it and it isn’t fair that there is not an official way to remove it.
I don’t like the way they emphasize the unimportant events by making the post so big. It also takes much time to load than the older profile design. Sad thing you can’t disable the final version or it is really hard to remove it.
i HATE timeline sooooooooooo so so so much i cnt stress it enough. PLEASE help me find a way to get rid of it
apparently everyone is getting timeline by January 1 so even though it is AWFUL! we all have to deal with it
i don’t like the new timeline!
There are a lot of dislikes for timeline, why are u making this a big deal. Put a deactivate button. Do have to regret downloading it all the time!!!
I don’t like Timeline because it’s not amatuer-friendly. If you don’t take professional looking pictures like all the beautiful glossies they have in the FB ads, or know how to do attractive layouts like a graphic artist, you will end up with a jumbled looking mess. On top of that, you can’t even disable it.
I have fallen pretty to this unwanted timeline! It has all of my statuses since I joined Facebook! I don’t particularly want people read about my thoughts and feelings posted so long ago! Shame on FB g for forcing us into this!
dnt like the timeline plz help me deactivate it! plz
im sad now!
Hi. I wanted to try out the timeline but I absolutely hate it. Could you please let us know how to delete it and go back to our normal profile? Please! Thanks very much.
HAAAATE timeline. horrible. please go back, or allow an option to switch back. thank you
i hate the timeline i see myfriends list to much going on on the page!!!!!!!!!
I absolutely HATE the new Timeline and have made numerous attempts to return my profile page to the previous layout. If I am unable to reverse the Timeline I will be deleting my account. Please advise.
Is anyone from FB listening? EVERYONE HATES THE NEW TIMELINE! Please, get rid of it!
Please….give some of us the option to convert back to the original profile. Timeline is a flop, there is nothing “awesome” about it. It BLOWS!!
I HATE TIMELINE!!!!!!!!!!! Please help me to remove it!!!!
this timeline is rubbish, can someone tell me how toget rid of it, i downloaded it from a button that was at the top of my profile, not through the developer
please take me off this timeline, i hate it!
Am going to deactivate FB if timeline is not removed.There should be an option to deactivtae it.
I started a petition against Facebook’s Timeline. Sign the petition so we can fight Facebook Timeline.
guys, theres a really simple solution for removing timeline, instructions are here: http://www.fbpurity.com/disable-facebook-timeline.htm
Yeah but that does not fix the problem because the timeline is there .. it just give you the illusion that it is gone.. if you use any other computer the damn timeline is still there. I have my identity stolen have went thru hell this needs to stop and reverse.. because I will disable facebook and quit forever~
Hi, need some assistance please on how to switch my facebook account back to its original format. i accidentally activated timeline since I want to check the new version but then I decided that the original format is much better and its not giving me any options to use the old facebook format again. Thank you.
why dont they make a developer switch button
so that keep both but you have the option of seeing both when ever you want
a great example of what im talking about is similar to what zynga did to there
farmville game now theres 4 farms and theres a pull down for the 4 farms
and no matter if log out the last page you were on stays the current one
i think this is more efficient for everyone and we all wouldnt have to worry bout it
it would be choice to stay where we want or view what we want and everyone could be happy
i know facebook can do it zynga did
I don’t like the timeline either I thought I can revert it back so I tried it now i am totally pissed
if only google+ got more users
please help get rid of time line
I’ve been searching around the web to find a way to disable timeline from Facebook but here i found my answer. It cannot be disable. Maybe the facebook team should consider the thoughts of its user before making any changes. They should give the options to the users whether or not to install timeline to their profiles because lets not forget that in order to be alive and running (and making profit out of it) facebook needs its users. now most people don’t like the new timeline and facebook should stop forcing their updates with no questions asked! Forcing someone will definitively drive them away thus loosing users and in the end loosing profits from all the adverts!! Give the people the choice!!
please help me get my old profile back. I do not like timeline
i hate facebook timeline i want it off my page!! There needs to be a disable!
dnt like the timeline plz help me deactivate it! plz im sad now!
Timeline app is not for everyone. Too time consuming trying to get rid of and definitely a violation of privacy policies anywhere in the world!
help me to get rid of this shitt!!!!
I hate this timeline please please help me disable it. How do I get this stupid thing off my page?
This timeline is horrible. How is this different from Myspace??? I do not want this!! Please give people an option at least.
