#12Looks like a digital, semi-automated scrapbook. From my understanding, it's not an overhaul of the profile, but another view of your online identity. If they pull it off it could be pretty cool.
The examples that they are showing look awesome. I wonder if they will surface ex-girlfriends as "important" parts of your timeline.
I have always wondered why people are so shamed of their past emotions. Ex-girlfriends are part of your life, part of who you are even if you don't want to admit it.
I suspect it to be somehow a configurable feature or you can always remove those manually.

What is the underlying tech supposed to be in that video? A blogger blog? A GMail account?

You can control it, so you can hide or show whatever you want. However, in my case anyway, my ex-girlfriends have fundamentally shaped who I am and I would keep them visible in my timeline because of that.

#18Have they added a way to change the date on a photo? Because those scanned 80's photos in the demo aren't going to show up in the 80's if you uploaded them in 2010. Edit: Sounds like you drag the existing photos to the timeline to add them in the appropriate place. Better than nothing...
Timeline wouldn't work without a way to change the dates.

This looks like a new feature rather than reinventing the main way you interact with Facebook. Your comment seems directed at the changes they made in the past few days rather than the link in this thread.

#20Looks really interesting. Wonder if G+/Picasa will be creating a similar feature - I've almost moved away from facebook completely.
