Facebook gave its News Feed a makeover Wednesday and many users got angry. How dare the social network suddenly change so much, after all? Well, we hope you saved some of your rage — because a lot more changes were announced at F8, Facebook's developer conference. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg took the stage at F8 to give his keynote speech at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET in order to share what's new and what's coming soon. Keep your eyes on this story — we'll update it as the official announcements hit.
The first item on the keynote agenda? A redesigned profile page dubbed the "Timeline" which — according to Zuckerberg — is a way to present "the story of your life." When someone looks at your Timeline, he or she will be able to see summaries of the most important events in your personal history — instead of having to scroll through years of silly status updates.
The curious thing is that Timelines aren't limited to content you've previously posted on Facebook. Instead you can actually go in and add key events, images, and similar. You can essentially compile a visual diary.
It sounds promising sometimes the changes are a mess but I guess that this one will be good. I don't think ppl will stop using FB since it's the most famous way to be connected with your friends, family and even to meet new ppl but let's see.
Some of these changes sound interesting. I don't mind that Facebook keeps reinventing itself, because the new features usually prove to be quite useful ultimately.
These are just minor changes, not big enough that it's jarring -- that's not how Facebook (or any company) works. And Google+ is not as big a "threat" as some are making it out to be. It's an excellent contender, but people are too established with Facebook to think about abandoning it completely, especially those users with many friends or those who use Facebook strictly to stay connected to family members. The concept of "switching over to Google+" is flawed because in order to officially be "done with Facebook," not only would you have to switch to Google+, but ALL of your friends and family would have to switch over as well... and that's highly unlikely. So, yes, you will be staying with Facebook and you will deal. People need to accept it and flow with the current of change instead of always becoming outraged when Facebook evolves. Must we go through, "I want the old Facebook!" every single time it changes? C'man, people.

I can't at thme even doing this... Google+ is already MUCH better.
