Facebook timeline upgrade rolled out to all

A FACEBOOK upgrade which allows users to display the story of their lives has been made available to everyone.

The timeline feature, which was previously only open to people in New Zealand, will redesign users’ profile pages, splitting the screen into two columns and placing greater emphasis on photographs.

The upgrade received a mixed response from users commenting on the website. One wrote it was a “stupid, useless, ugly update” but another described it as the “single best thing Facebook has ever added”.
