Facebook has now made a new feature once again. This new timeline feature is a very good thing to use now, especially for security reasons. With Facebook coming out with the Timeline feature, security and your privacy have never been more important to your life online. The new timeline shows all of your current and past statuses, pictures, and activities on your Facebook. Your post, photos, comments, likes ext.… in an interesting timeline format. Anyone who can access your profile can see these things; this may include friends, family, colleges, and executives at a company or even a potential future boss. If you decided to make the change to Timeline or if you didn't, you will probably within the next few weeks or so. This is whether you want to or not you should know that Facebook is always changing things, and there are certain settings that have been put in place that you need to pay attention to if you are concerned about what parts of your personal life that you want others to see. I myself have made the change to the timeline. It is very interesting to what I’m seeing. The timeline feature’s new security settings are very helpful. It helped me keep a lot of people who I either don’t like or I just didn’t want to be looking at my page form being on it. It makes you feel very secure in my opinion. There is just a lot more personal safety on Facebook now and I feel that everyone should make the change to Facebook timeline if you want to better your Facebook page.
