Creative Users

Facebook can be fun and there are a lot of creative users out there. Just have a look at this great timeline profiles: http://pinterest.com/bpimentelp/facebook-timeline/
The only problem is that facebook now and than just changes the sizes of the foto box so you need to change your layout again.

What happend with my friends?

I subscribed to almost every friend posts on Facebook. Because for me it's the most important feature to stay updated about their live. As I am working in Online Marketing I also have some facebook friends that have a job in Internet and so I also liked a lot of posts that are about Social Media, Infografiks, SEO news and so on. Now I realized that not only mates from the Internet business discovered the possibility from Social Media and so on. When I entered today my Facebook profile I saw a lot of posts from friends that where related to their business that they are working in. Hell, I don't give a shit what happens in the prom industry, mechanical engineering, coupons or whatever. But with Facebook I am somehow forced to stayed informed about all of this. Do my Facebook friends really think that it's stuff that I want to know? I doubt. Probably they are not even conscious about it because they either love their job so much that they can't distinguish between business and private stuff anymore or they just have to do this because they have an excuse to use Facebook during their working time ;)

past catches up

Facebook is dangerous. You can never complete with your past.

It's not that I have to hide something. But in the past the past kept the past. Today the past is always present. If you like it or not. Today I got two friend requests from people that I did not have contact with since years ago. And I did not even remembered well their faces. OK in respect to the people it's a very good exercise to remember the people on your way.
But once you except their friend request you keep always present in their lives and they in yours. How does it change the human behavior? Furthermore with timeline it's so easy to travel back in your past. How bad for someone who tries to live in the NOW or for people who like to escape their past. Probably they need to recreate a new self and if it's just virtual.
