Timeless Timeline

in Facebook

I cannot believe it is 2012 already. I am big on even-numbered years probably because I was born in one according to the “experts”. So here we are a new year and a new look to Facebook. How many of you have the new Timeline? How many of you like the new Timeline? How many of you would like to kick Facebook in the ass for one more change?

I have had Timeline since many of us could hack it through various different sites. Fortunately it was an alleged “legal” hack if there is such a thing so I didn’t have to look quite like this:

Besides I do not like to sweat.

I happen to love Timeline because it is timeless. I can go back to the date I was conceived I suppose and make it part of my history by year, but then you would know how old I am and I don’t want you to know that.

I love the GREAT BIG PICTURES – and last week Mike Mueller nominated my cover picture as the best one he has ever seen. (if you are not a friend of his, you have to subscribe and it’s worth it). Now that is an honor.

Here is the exact quote:

Mike Mueller

I hereby nominate this as the BEST cover image of the year!
What are your favorites?

— with Carole Sanek.

I think I won -but no one else got nominated.

This is my cover photo:

Mike calls me tough….I am.

This whole escapade down cover picture lane started because someone has a spammy cover picture. I did not see it but I knew this would happen when Facebook changed to Timeline. I could see the sold signs then.

It’s really bad to do that, enough people already know you are possibly a real estate agent. They don’t want to see a sold sign as your cover picture, especially if you are the listing agent on their 730 days on the market house.

I am waiting to see if Facebook starts slamming people who do this with the dreaded pink warning slip. You do know what that is right? It shows up at the top of your wall and tells you that you are either in Facebook jail or banned from ever requesting friends again or something like that.

Happy 2012 – and if you put a sold sign on your personal profile page as a cover picture you will be possibly be uncovering your butt to people unfriending you – I would be first. And that is my glass of opinion.
