whats that credit card/mobile phone number verification mess

9/26/2011 11:42:01 PM

no idea, I didnt do either

[Edited on September 26, 2011 at 11:43 PM. Reason : prolly means theyre gonna start charging you!]

9/26/2011 11:42:55 PM

people still use facebook?

9/26/2011 11:44:20 PM

you didnt do the steps or it didnt make you verify anything

im bored and may dick around w/ it

9/26/2011 11:44:27 PM

I didn't have to verify anything, but upon futher thought I think I did verify my mobile phone years ago to get sms messages

9/26/2011 11:47:06 PM

it's definitely worth it, the new layout is pretty cool, you have access to your entire facebook history

9/26/2011 11:49:00 PM

does facebook send you texts? i dont have unlimited and dont want to get into all that mess, especially if they are just going to move this layout over to everyone within another week or two anyway

9/26/2011 11:53:09 PM

i made a new app called Secondguess. I used secondguess as the action and facebook progress as the object type. my status automatically tells me i just secondguessed Facebook progress with Timeline.

9/26/2011 11:57:28 PM

^^nah, that was back before I had a smartphone and had shit sent to my phone via text, turned that off awhile back. its in the settings screen but you have to turn it on to begin with

i like it.

9/27/2011 12:00:32 AM

nice cover picture sawahash

9/27/2011 12:03:32 AM

also your activity is no longer public, only you can access it

9/27/2011 12:07:34 AM

i did it ... now to tinker

9/27/2011 12:11:06 AM

Lol! I just saw something that a friend posted on my wall back in 2006

my very first status update

"omg jason you have the largest penis ive ever seen and you are sooooooooo hot *kiss*"

9/27/2011 12:13:55 AM

the status update has a bunch of new options added to it

9/27/2011 12:16:07 AM

I wish there was a built-in way (maybe there is) to adjust the brightness/contrast of the main cover image, and just have the other stuff sit on top of it w/o it being so blatant

9/27/2011 12:19:43 AM

weirdddddddd

9/27/2011 12:20:53 AM

do that with any photo editor before uploading it, but thats kind of the point of a cover picture

9/27/2011 12:23:25 AM

well of course you can do it beforehand

9/27/2011 12:25:20 AM

i manually went through and deleted all past facebook posts older than 2 years a while back, appears some stragglers got through but they make me laugh so i'll keep them - makes me look like i never used FB before 2009 though

9/27/2011 12:50:32 AM

wait so now it looks like myspace. wtf

9/27/2011 1:07:34 AM

not at all

9/27/2011 1:08:30 AM

with a big picture at the top it does.

i delete pretty much everything. looks like i never used facebook before yesterday. but the private activity log was pretty amusing to read through

9/27/2011 1:12:01 AM

haha ok whatever, sure, it looks like myspace now, enjoooooooy

9/27/2011 1:12:14 AM

if i knew i could just hide it instead of deleting i might have done that but oh well

9/27/2011 1:18:44 AM

yeah I'm already surprised I've seen two people with positive reviews about it, knowing how past changes have gone down, I'll probably just not check facebook for about a week when it happens for everybody

[Edited on September 27, 2011 at 1:44 AM. Reason : hate people like ^3]

9/27/2011 1:43:36 AM

I will probably check out the new layout purely for curiosity about what dirt Facebook has on me, then lock it all down and stop using Facebook except for logging in to turntable.fm.

9/27/2011 1:46:43 AM

theres gonna be so much bitching, I cant wait!

9/27/2011 1:48:27 AM

okay i love this.

how the fuck does it look like myspace, please explain this. if there's no music playing automatically or no horizontal scrollbar then there's no problem here

Yeah, it was pretty hilarious reading through old posts, but I think I'm done with Facebook.

9/27/2011 2:03:47 AM

So does it say how long you've been a Facebook user? I'll just wait til it launches.

9/27/2011 2:04:37 AM

Just signed up.



Buyer beware: If someone hacks your account or steals your password or you forget to log out then your whole life will by put out there on blast.

ya, she was pretty much just being a dum dum, just ignore it, she's a girl

9/27/2011 2:10:51 AM

Grrr saps is angry. no its not a complete myspace but FB has never been about visual customization. I was just merely pointing out that having that big ass picture and you can choose it is kinda like myspace. dislike.

9/27/2011 2:13:45 AM

when this comes out, i'm going to get automatically angry with people that don't like it, just because they can't see how smart this shit is

9/27/2011 2:17:41 AM

exactly, this shit is ingenious

9/27/2011 2:21:28 AM

i didnt see mention of privacy settings. does shit just stay the same? or do i manually have to set privacy levels of random shit

9/27/2011 2:29:51 AM

if you care that much, you prolly shouldnt be on facebook

9/27/2011 2:35:53 AM

lol I'm just kidding, it hides your activity, the rest is the same pretty much, but you can scroll through peoples posting history

9/27/2011 2:36:44 AM

somehow mine went back to normal...

9/27/2011 2:37:49 AM

I've read a couple comments about that, apparently its a bug but fixes itself fairly soon

[Edited on September 27, 2011 at 2:42 AM. Reason : .]

9/27/2011 2:41:52 AM

how soon is fairly soon? do you know offhand?


never mind. when i click my profile, there's a timeline, not on my homepage FB

[Edited on September 27, 2011 at 2:51 AM. Reason : .]

9/27/2011 2:47:50 AM

does this completely negate any privacy settings you once had?

yea I'm actually loving the new layout. I wish everybody could see it tho, not just those of us that went through all these hoops.
oh well! only a week til then

9/27/2011 9:03:38 AM

the article seems a little tongue in cheek
