Facebook to make Timeline mandatory in a week

Late last year, amidst hushed talks and speculation, Facebook announced their latest, big feature - the Timeline. The feature, at least by measure, brought nothing new to the table, but yes, it promised to give one's Facebook profile a swanky new makeover. Users could always access their older posts by just scrolling down their page, but not many did it. Timeline allowed users to view their lives, as on Facebook in a chronologically arranged format, complete with photos, videos, posts, among others that they may have uploaded, shared on their profiles. All details of the user, right from the time he/she created their Facebook profile were neatly arranged in chronology, almost as if they’re telling a story, which is essentially what Facebook intended to do with Timeline. However, while there were many who readily made the switch, there were some who still preferred their original profile look and hence continued with it. However, all this is set to change in a week's time, as Facebook plans to make a uniform Timeline adoption across its user base. Simply put, everyone will have to switch to Timeline within a week's time, after which the switch will automatically happen.
