There are<br \/>\nsome small boxes over the cover photo, including your profile picture, which is<br \/>\ntiny, making it completely pointless, since your profile picture is supposedly<br \/>\na representation of yourself. This is the Facebook timeline. Zuckeberg\u2019s newest<br \/>\nset-up is meant to make stalking easier, as you can go back further into<br \/>\nsomeone\u2019s Facebook presence. I know the whole point of the infamous FB is to<br \/>\npeek into the private lives of mere acquaintances, but please tell me why it\u2019s<br \/>\nnecessary to go all the way back to see their grade 7 rendition of the Crank<br \/>\nDat dance in an ill-fitting dress at multiple bar\/bat mitzvahs. Not only is it<br \/>\nembarrassing for you because everyone can see all of your awkward brace-face<br \/>\nmoments, but it\u2019s also really bad for getting a job. Since the majority of<br \/>\nemployers nowadays do check their potential employees\u2019 online presence, they<br \/>\ncould come by that grade 9 after party photo where you\u2019re half-naked with some<br \/>\nunknown senior student standing a little bit too close. Unless you\u2019re applying<br \/>\nfor a job at a strip club, I don\u2019t think that this is particularly appealing to<br \/>\nemployers. Despite all the embarrassing photos and wall posts that are now out<br \/>\nin the open, timeline just overall sucks. It\u2019s supposedly more organized, yet<br \/>\nit doesn\u2019t make any sense because it switches from side to side, and every post<br \/>\nis a different size, so you can\u2019t actually navigate your way through to find<br \/>\nthose wild night photos. I am faithful to my current set-up and refuse to<br \/>\nchange it until absolutely necessary. (Does anyone else get those messages that<br \/>\npop up and tell you that everyone\u2019s profiles are switching to timeline soon?) Don\u2019t<br \/>\ngive into Facebook\u2019s pressure to get timeline\u2014just say no!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sabina Wex \u00a0 In the background, you see a super awkward cover photo, where you can\u2019t actually see the full picture, but only your mouth.
