Facebook is allowing everyone the chance to access the new Timeline profile, ahead of its universal launch in seven days time. Users will receive a notification on their profile asking them if they want to use the new profile, or they can visit the Facebook Timeline page to access it.
In September, Facebook changed its newsfeeds so that stories no longer appeared in chronological order, but featured stories that were considered interesting for the user were promoted to the top and also added a real time news ticker on the right hand side. There have been concerns about a lack of privacy on Facebook, with researchers from the University of British Columbia managing to create a socialbot which collected 250GB of personal data from the site. However, the social networking site responded by saying that it had serious concerns about the methodology used by the researchers as they used academic email addresses rather than fake ones which would have been treated more suspiciously.
