This timeline business on facebook is driving me batty. Really--I cannot STAND it. How do I really feel, you ask? I hate it. I am usually one of those people who reads other people's complaints about things like facebook and Twitter and think, "Let me get this straight--you are complaining about an OPTIONAL free service while using that same service and this makes sense to you--REALLY?!" That is USUALLY what I think. Now I am changing my tune.
When my justanothertiredmommy fb page changed, I didn't think anything of it. I am used to things changing on facebook--it is like the fourth child I never had who steals the attention away from the other three children and the husband--sometimes I don't like how it treats me, but it is still the favorite and I will never turn my back on it. Even when people complained about the timeline--I thought, "What's the big deal? People are crazy..." until I finally realized that I do not know how to GET to my timeline. People post things and I have no clue how to read what they have posted. The only reason I even KNOW that this is happening is because when someone ELSE comments on something that is posted on my timeline, I can then see it. Then I feel like a jerk because people take the time to post things on my timeline and then think that I ignore them and their funny material. Not cool.
I am finding this tiresome and boring (and confusing) to even TALK about--so as per yesterday's new motto, I should end here. Stupid timeline.

I HATE my timeline too!!! I feel like it should be a choice.
ReplyDeleteRight?! And I would like to CHOOSE an option that allows me to actually see what people post for me! Stupid timeline...
DeleteThanks, I so needed to hear this! I actually just joined fb, and none of it makes sense to me - it's so frustrating! To make things worse, since it just changed, all the help material is about the old format, which is like Greek to me because I never saw the old format - argh! Ok, obviously I have some pent-up freaking out to do, thanks for letting me vent! :)
ReplyDeleteI have to be honest, it used to be fairly simple. It probably still is that simple and I'm just an idiot! I finally FOUND my time line and was afraid to exit out of it for fear of never getting back again! Good luck to you...Greek would be easier at this point...
