Facebook.... again. - Page 8

It never used to tell you about comments on people you don't know. Now it tells you that, as well as comments from and about people you do know, which get lost in the clutter. I really hope they don't make me rely on the ticker on the right to see things- it's annoying.

Somebody noticed if you put people into the "close friends" list it automatically gives you all their updates.

Personally, I didn't like the previous changes and I don't like these. I don't like constantly having to adjust everything.

I'm seeing posts by apps I blocked long ago. Some of them are re-blockable, some don't seem to be.

Actually, my ex gf was always seeing comments I made to other people's status updates - people she was NOT friends of. I was always confused by that - but maybe it's because she unwittingly had "my" friend setting set to "all," despite the default being "most."

I haven't yet switched everyone to "all" from "most" - and I'm doing that on a case-by-case basis as I think of it. But I've yet to see any comments by friends on "strangers" status updates.

I suppose that's the whole point of that "chatter box" thing which I deleted yesterday as an annoyance.

On the other hand, I like the Timeline concept for the new profiles. But who goes to anyone's profile anyway?

I've toggled peoples' status from most to all and it doesn't seem to make any difference in what I am seeing for people. And definitely seeing comments made by friends on posts by people I've never even heard of, let alone have any association with myself.

As of this morning I still hadn't seen the ticker myself though (and now I likely won't until sometime in late October) so I have no opinion on that.

So, Timeline... I was expecting something more spectacular. I haven't "published" mine yet, but lack the narcissism to go back and relive my life on Facebook. I think if I do anything, it will be to create a fictional past or pasts. Is there something I'm missing?

alphabassettgrrl · 12-23-2011, 07:53 PM

Oh, gods, today's the day they send all of us to Timeline, isn't it? I've been avoiding it for as long as I can.

I like a fictional past.

That could be fun. Reality? Mine will probably stay pretty blank. I don't think I have the energy or caring to go back and put in lots of milestones.

I saw an app that just goes and deletes all your posts and comments that are more than X period old. Kind of intrigued by the idea since never once have I had any urge to look up something I said on Facebook more than a few days previously.
