FaceBook Timeline - from 7th Jan 2012
by Odhiambo Washington 10 Jan '12

10 Jan '12

>From tomorrow, FaceBook is gonna force their Timeline feature down the throats of millions of earthlings. However, one thing is standing out - the following request is becoming too much now: *With the new FB timeline on its way this week for EVERYONE. . . please do both of us a favor: Hover over my name above. In a few seconds you'll see a box that says "Subscribed". Hover over that, then go to "Comments and Likes" and unclick it. That will stop my posts and yours to me from showing up on the side bar for everyone to see, but most importantly it limits hackers from invading our profiles. Kindly repost this & I will do the same for you.*I have a feeling FB should do this for everyone, and only let those who need to subscribe to "comments and likes" of their friends to do it. If not, I can imagine the number of such requests that are gonna fly across the globe .... Wastage of bytes... What do you think? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler. Please consider the environment before printing this email.
