Why is Facebook making Timeline mandatory and not optional? - Karla - 11-09-2012 10:02 AM
Facebook hasn't seemed to really give a reason as to why Timeline is being made mandatory? Is there any reasoning as to why it can't stay optional? I don't think this Timeline thing is a good idea and I don't think it will last honestly. How long does anyone think before Facebook reverts back to old profiles? I just don't understand why Timeline can't stay optional.

Timeline allows them to include more advertisements on your profile

because supporting two different types of profiles costs the company more money

Like with many things in life, their view is 'this is what you want, if you don't like it then leave.'
They think that it's going to be an improvement, which is unlikely. The current style is fine, 'if it isn't broken, don't fix it.'
