Have You Made the Switch to Timeline Feature on Facebook?

Social Media giant Facebook is getting ready to throw the switch on a new feature called Timeline. This is basically a new profile format that chronicles a user's past through photos and older posts.

While many user's have made the switch voluntarily, those who have not will be forced to switch over, according to the Associated Press.

Some users are being told by Facebook that they have until Wednesday, Feb. 1 to organize their profiles before the switch is activated.

As you update your profile and move things around consider these tips:

• Privacy settings on individual items to control who has access can be changed

• A date on a post can be changed

• You can add a cover photo outside of your profile photo

• You can add bits and pieces of your past all the way back to your birth
