Wait, what? You've heard horrible things about it?  What's new? You hear horrible things every time Facebook changes something. It's because the majority of people are sheep and are resistant to change. Never fear though, this change is good, you will like it.

There is, however, a horrible rumor floating around that you've lost the fine-grain control over your posts as far as restricting posts from being seen from certain groups of people etc.

This is entirely untrue! When you click the drop-down arrow while viewing a post on your own timeline, it is true that the only options there are "Change Date, Add/Change Location, Hide From Timeline, Delete Post, Report/Mark as Spam". Here's where the rumor starts. People (the dumb ones) think "WHAT? I have to show it or hide it? That's it??"

*buzzer sounds* EHHHHHH! Wrong!

While those are the only options available to you while viewing that post on the timeline, if you actually view the post on your wall, you still have the fine-grain control of filtering by lists etc.

Sorry Google+, I know some of you were hoping to have a massive flood of users coming over. Doesn't look like this is 'the one' change from Facebook though that'll cause it. Keep holding your breath though, with the rate Facebook changes eventually they'll screw up something enough to piss people off.

Now, if only EVERYBODY had access to timeline instead of this slowly fazed in crap...
