So on facebook these days, for those of us have been forced to switch over to Timeline anyway, people have been posting the most cheesy cover photos ever.
I've seen everything from photo montage,(aka look how many pictures of myself I can get onto my profile page. YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT ME IN 50 PICTURES INSTEAD OF ONE!) to some randomly stupid nature scene that has obviously been glossed up x 10 in photoshop.
So, to prove to the world that I will not follow suit I decided to put this up.
It was made for scud, I'm telling you.

You asshole. WHAT, HAVE YOU SEEN MY FB'S COVER PICTURE?! IS THIS YOUR INDIRECT WAY OF CALLING ME OUT?! EHHHH?!
(Also, I hate how Facebook makes cover photos low-rez. Anybody know a way to bypass that?)

Wow, Imageshack is forcing you to sign up to use their service now? Seriously, wtf. Oh well. That's why I have alt-emails for bullshit like that.
And here's my timeline cover.

Wow, so now we're going back to Myspace with huge obnoxious images and bright colors and glitter and strawberries so big you can eat them like a handfruit.

Naw bro, the cover images are brilliant. Probably the greatest thing about the Timeline. I'm all for more customization, although limited -- I totally agree on MySpace allowing far too much customization, to the point where a lot of profiles were just unreadable. Facebook makes sure it all fits within the design.
The Timeline itself, however, is lame. A two-column thing, where the columns are usually uneven, it starts out showing practically *every* little thing you've done, and it's... just not as common-sense as what they had. I really prefer the old look better, probably because it made sense and it looked good.
Then again, everyone complains about every little Facebook change. But *I*, for one, am special. Because I'm a web designer. Thus I'm BETTER THAN EVERYONE.
I haven't been forced into it yet.
Unfortunately, soon you will be. I'd make the change early if I were you, to make sure anything you don't want on there isn't shown.

I took it before it was released publicly.
There's no place I can be, since I found Serenity.

The timeline is actually the first update in a good while that I've been rather positive towards, even though there are some things that could've been better, like giving you the option to hide the calendar (to the right of the cover photo) from public display, making the sticky posts for new likes and music optional, and so on. The new design I can live with, and I quite like the cover photos.

Damn it... just found out that EVERYONE (including business pages) are going to switch to Timeline.
So... I can get a pretty cool cover photo on Coeus, but I gotta deal with the two column nonsense.

Normally, to have a Facebook page, you have to have a Facebook account.

I am not one to question the wisdom of the mighty dyke-builders, but I wouldn't join a website called Hyves if you paid me.

This is not wisdom. This is some guy seeing the succes of Facebook, decides to copy it and miraculously, succeeds because apperently people are just too stupid to realise that a copy of a stupid idea is still stupid.
In a world without this kind of crap, we would have permanently cured cancer and aids, achieved world peace, solved the hunger problem, stopped the planet from decaying, and already being able to travel as far as the other side of the galaxy, but hey, being productive is for LOSERS, right?

Huh, I never realised that researchers and politicians apparently spend all their time on Facebook, but shut my mouth I guess.
The only thing I'm confused about is why cancers, aids, war etc. existed in the first place, because the social media thing only kicked in in the 21st century (or 20th century if you count Usenet and such)... Unless... the whole thing is actually just an extension of general human social behaviour. Shit!
So I guess my point is that people aren't unproductive because of Facebook, but rather the other way around.

M'yeah, I was in a weird inverted sarcasm-mood or something like that.
Still, the useless things people occasionally write to each other, and the things they just mindlessly copy-paste to all their friends because *it's so fricken' hilarious* on Facebook etc. just makes me groan.

Oh wow.
OK... lemme stand back here for a second, get a good look atchya. OK... wow.
Now, I'm not going to jump to conclusions and make any claims on your social prowess in real life, but that's pretty friggin' morbid. Humans are curious creatures who (usually) thrive on social connections.
I personally have a Facebook because I want to keep up to date on what family and friends are up to. I don't care about Stacey's volleyball tournament, or that Vickie had a great day, but did they ask my opinion? If somebody decides to post a bunch of memes they found on the internet, I can just unsubscribe from them. If I get annoyed by a kid and her mom having a real-time argument on their Facebook page, I can unsubscribe from them. I can also find out if anybody on my list likes the same music as me, get updates on the latest Colbert Report and Cracked articles, goof around if somebody posts something I find entertaining... and hey, it's an awesome way to promote my music.
Facebook is a great idea. It's not for everybody, no, especially when it comes to people who "don't get it", but even the people who don't get it should know there's tremendous value in online communication.
Says Aro, on the AoKH Forums. Where postings on "frickin' hilarious" things and "useless" things are nowhere to be found.
