Stated simply, the Facebook Timeline looks to display user information in a more editorial, time-based manner, with more of an emphasis on blocks of data rather than lines of text. It\u2019s a move not unsimilar to smart phones and the blockish, scroll-heavy way they display information.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s all beside the point. Here\u2019s the deal: whether you like it or not, Facebook is switching all users and business pages over to Facebook Timeline on March 30th. No more \u201cclassic\u201d, no matter how much you may have enjoyed it.<\/p>\n<p>This presents a problem. While it may be a superior interface (or not!), making the switch mandatory takes away the illusion of choice that many social media outlets present as their backbone. It\u2019s also an obvious maneuver to directly compete against Google+\u2019s format\u2014a move that\u2019s proving to be, perhaps, not all that necessary.<\/p>\n<p>How big will the ripples of the changeover to on March 30th?
