Dear Facebook: What part of 'No, I Do Not Want Timeline' do you not get?

Give me back my rotary phone!

It can ever be as bad as MySpace.

I don't use FB personally, but I used it professionally. Under the old system, I was able to post a note - a link to a blogpost with the contents and a small picture. I think it was called "share a link" Since they changed the format, I can't find the old ones or the ability to make new ones. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

You're better off hanging out at a biker bar.

Posting them seems to work the same way. Old ones? Look to the right and there should be some year-by-year or month-by-month breakdown.

How dare you do something to change the free service I'll never pay a penny for!

Similar cries are made when newspaper websites change.

I don't think it's the simple fact that Timeline exists that has Starman riled. It's the fact that the look is being forced upon us by Facebook.

It's nothing new for Facebook to do that, but it's irritating that we're not given the option to opt out of it if we choose to.

But it's a free service, so I don't understand all the bitching about it. If we paid for it, I'd feel a whole lot differently. But we don't ... and hopefully never will have to pay for it.
