Via my great gal pal Potencia: <br /><br />Virus going around right now that spreads through tags saying, "You can remove the new facebook Timeline profile". Turn on tag review in 'Privacy Settings' if you have not already done so it doesn't hit on your wall.<br /> <br />How to do:<br />*Click the down arrow in the upper right blue bar next to 'Home'<br />*Click on 'Privacy Settings' When page opens, scroll down to 'How Tags Work' and click on 'Edit Settings'.<br />*Box will open which has your options regarding your preferences if you want to review tags BEFORE a tag being posted on your wall. I personally opted mine 'On' so I can make sure I don't spread unwanted junk should one of my family/friends get hacked.<br /><br />Have a Merry Christmas!LauraBellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01258362594795521897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693401219959272564.post-30189960730915360162011-12-23T14:04:14.274-05:002011-12-23T14:04:14.274-05:00Robert, I just tweeted this and posted it on my Fa...Robert, I just tweeted this and posted it on my Facebook pages.Terri Lynn Merrittshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160638878018457643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693401219959272564.post-71574916031762396762011-12-23T14:01:34.715-05:002011-12-23T14:01:34.715-05:00Hi Robert

I had no idea that FB will eventually switch everyone to their timeline feature.<br /><br />The timeline does look cluttered, but I do love how it acts as a "timeline" where I can mark and re-read important events.

I find that I like some of the things about the new Timeline very much, starting with how photos can be made so large.

Facebook would be better served to deal with its privacy policies rather than imposing all these alleged "improvements" on its users. I only use Facebook to communicate with my real friends (read: people I actually know)who happen to be geographically far away. If and when a better platform comes along that allows me to do this, I am gone, baby, gone, from Facebook.
