Introducing Facebook Timeline
Earlier, I composed a complete account of why Timeline is both incredible and a little troubling, and what you can do to plan for it-- but in the interest of time, right here are some essentials for obtaining your profile prepared for Facebook Timeline.

Photos as well as photo albums can now be tagged with places, which are after that presented nicely on a map. That suggests if your pal geotags your cd "Vacation Time," all of a sudden as opposed to simply images from a cabin in the woods, every person can inform that your August vacation occurred near Lake Tahoe. Currently you have to either untag on your own from every geotagged photo or have your good friend by hand remove the geotag from every image you're in. It's a total discomfort. Welcome to Timeline.
