Facebook to roll out timeline feature

Facebook bosses are bracing themselves for a backlash from users over the up-coming roll-out of the social networking site's new timeline feature.

In the next few weeks, everyone will be forced to adapt to the timeline feature. The change will allow people to easily access their friends' status updates and photographs from as far back as 2004, when Facebook was founded.

A spokeswoman for the site said the change would not alter existing privacy settings.
