PLEASE BRING TIMELINE BACK! It was my absolute favorite feature! I used it all the time, it was so convenient and interesting to know WHEN and HOW you meet people over the years. The only reason I can imagine Facebook removing that feature is that most users are so young that the timeline didn`t mean anything to them, since everyone was met in the last 5 years. But for users with `more` years, timeline was way cool!

BRING BACK TIMELINE!

I've been desperately searching the timeline and wondering where they hid it.

Now everybody: Timeline back! Timeline back!

LOVED this feature.

Removing it was not the right thing to do. Promoting it was.

Since this is related… A creative way to ask for Friend Details that might have worked: While you’re talking on Facebook Chat, if it sits idle for a while, ask the user what year they met the person they are chatting with, and if they respond, ask them how they met… something like that.

First to the lowest part of the "more" section of friends, where almost nobody could see it, and then offline... that is how it goes, isn't it ?
With my app (attached) I have put a link to everyone's social timeline to make it more popular, yeah it was even possible to view the timeline of friends with timeline.php?id=..
What I have on the title page of it was the friend game,
that was a little quiz about who had what hobby of your friends. That is gone now as well!!!!

Nooooo! Perhaps I'm a stickler, but this was the only reason why I actually filled out my friend details to a "T". I actually enjoyed being able to see who I've met from year to year...

oh so that what the timeline was meant to be used for.

never used the page but when i started with facebook i was one of these obsessed people who wanted to be precise at the time with my contacts when facebook gave the option e.g. if it was primary ed (Elementry to those facebook american folk) or college i whould state it same with if it were a nightclub student occounter or met on holiday in 2003 in france.

Now having 220 contacts and sometimes applications promoting maaking friends adding to these (therefore friends increase all the time)
1 good thing though all facebook application friends since the friends list feature added and privacy appeared those met through facebook 'friends' I add to the 'PrivFBApps' Friend list i made (and in privacy settings specified contact info for example i prefer this group not to ideally have access e.g. IM or landline phone

I didnt know it exsisted 0_0 lol

P.S. Gifts were a huge ripoff. Everyone just switched to the knock-off "free gifts" app.

I wonder if they've demoted Gifts explicitly to 'level the playing field' between Facebook-owned and third-party apps? It was a bit 'unfair' that Gifts used to appear on the right-hand side when third-party apps can't make any use of that space.
