Introducing Facebook Timeline
Earlier, I created a complete account of why Timeline is both amazing and a little disturbing, and what you can do to prepare for it-- yet in the interest of time, here are some fundamentals for getting your profile prepared for Facebook Timeline.
1. 'Hide from Timeline' Is Your Pal
Prepare yourself to click "Hide from Timeline" a lot. You can discover it under the "Edit or Get rid of" pencil symbol that comes up when you hover your computer mouse over the top right edge of every Timeline article. Bear in mind, it's not simply embarrassing images that Timeline discovers-- it's every unsuitable condition upgrade you've ever published and also every stupid message your old college buddies have actually ever before composed on your wall at 3 a.m.
If you have actually had Facebook for a long period of time, you're mosting likely to wish to invest at the very least an hour combing via every little thing in your digital past as well as hiding what you do not want seen. You can additionally get rid of or conceal messages with your "Activity Log," which presents every little thing published on your profile in a much more portable, easy-to-digest type.
2. Smile! Your Album Covers Are Currently Big
Prior to, old image cds hid in an archive-- a collection of small thumbnails that only one of the most dedicated Facebook stalker would search through. Now it's all front as well as center on your Timeline. That indicates that the photo of you consuming alcohol a gigantic novelty margarita in Las Vegas might currently be shown in unsettling clearness in one of Timeline's 2 giant columns. If you intend to maintain your picture albums noticeable, but just wish to switch over the cover to something a little much less humiliating, click "Adjustment Primary Image" in the "Edit or Get rid of" menu.

Images and also image cds can now be marked with locations, which are after that presented nicely on a map. That suggests if your pal geotags your album "Trip Time," suddenly rather than just pictures from a cabin in the woods, everyone can tell that your August trip happened near Lake Tahoe. Currently you have to either untag yourself from every geotagged image or have your buddy manually get rid of the geotag from every image you remain in. It's an overall discomfort. Welcome to Timeline.
4. Violation of Personal privacy? There's an App for That
A great deal of the apps around for Timeline are quite great, but a couple of endeavor into TMI territory or, at the very least, turn your profile right into a type of business billboard. Think carefully before you let a third-party application have approval to instantly add activity to your Timeline. Do you actually want everybody to recognize where and also what you're eating at all times or what products you're acquiring online?
You can constantly handle your apps by clicking on "Account Settings" in the really top right pull-down menu on your profile. After that click "Applications," as well as you'll be presented with a checklist of all the applications that have accessibility to your Timeline. Get rid of the ones you do not such as or, under "App activity personal privacy," modification who can and also can't see the content uploaded by that app.
Bear in mind, you can always remove any specific awkward app revelations on your Timeline by clicking "Hide from Timeline."
