Recently, Facebook has come up with another great feature called Facebook Timeline. This tool is for those online users who want to express their personality. Facebook Timeline resembles an online scrapbook. It changes the way you manage your online profile on this site. You will see that Facebook Timeline arranges the content that you have already shared on the social networking site. Your latest update will appear on the top of the page, thereby following a chronological order. You can also experiment on the arrangement of photos that were posted by you earlier.

Facebook Timeline is all about creativity, you can really try out different combination of your photographs and information. Some people are hesitant to changes and this is why they want to get rid of Facebook Timeline. However, getting rid of Facebook Timeline is not as easy as it seems.

As of now, there is no way to get rid of Facebook Timeline. Since it doesn’t show in the installed application section on the account setting page, you cannot delete it. It is being said that ultimately every profile will be converted into a Timeline. However, these are still unconfirmed reports. So whether you like it or not, you have to use the Facebook Timeline.

Facebook Cover is something which immediately catches your attention. Whenever you visit a timeline of a person, you will see the cover first. Facebook Cover has got two columns, one of bigger size which forms a background and the smaller one on the bottom right of the cover. When you use Facebook Timeline, all your privacy and safety features are carried forward from your previous profile and they are retained. If you feel like changing the settings, you can easily do it.

All social networking sites come up with new features and interfaces every time. Sometimes of them are a hit, whereas some are a complete flop. Let’s wait and see whether people will love the new change or will want to get rid of Facebook Timeline.

Google V/S Facebook: Is Google Chasing Tail Lights?

So, Once again Google has entered into social networking game with what is termed as the facebook killer, Google + has already seen more than 10 million signups in the first 2 week of it’s launch. Google’s new social networking platform is released as an “Invite Only” which is a popular marketing strategy to urge users to join while it is still in the testing phase.

Google V/S Facebook

Though this new release of Google is termed as Facebook killer and it no doubt takes it’s cue from the Facebook, yet it is all about Google saving and enhancing it’s core franchise, i.e Google Search, and today search is not just about pages but people and their perception of the relevance of information. Google’s realization though late in coming has finally got the point clear that it needs social, location and other signals to enhance it’s search platform. It needs to understand the relationship among these variables in order to make it’s search better.

However, with over 1 billion people already registering on Google+, it is definitely going to give Facebook a run for it’s money. Also with a notification bar present across all the Google powered sites it is hard to miss a red notification on the top right corner, so in short there is no escaping Google+ . Google already has more users than Facebook, over one billion. They aren’t going to suddenly leave bin droves; they’re just going to spend more time on all the sites in Google’s network. And that big notifications box in the top right of all Google sites is the reason why.

If we compare Facebook and Google+ head on then Google + has some pluses and some minuses, here are to list out a few:

•  Google+ does has a better privacy feature with concept of circles but it lacks facebook in many features but that could be due to it is still the beta version.
• Google+ filters out any crappy application as of now but at the same time it does not offer anything unique to a Facebook user who does not care much about privacy.
• Google+ uses Google chat to enable chatting which is definitely a big Plus over Facebook

This is clearly just the start, though. Once Google Plus becomes stable and more widely used, the company will attempt to compete with Facebook where it matters most by building an entire social platform. The notifications are just one indicator of what can be expected in future.
