What Do You Think of Facebook’s New Couples’ Timeline?

Facebook is good for a lot of stuff: Keeping adult with aged friends, espionage on aged frenemies, err, checking in on ex-boyfriends. And, of course, broadcasting your attribute status to 600 of your closest friends.

This week, a amicable networking site rolled out a new romance-related feature—its “us” pages for users in relationships. Basically, when couples go to Facebook.com/us, they’ll see a timeline with any wall post, print and like they’ve sent any other or are tagged in together given they done their kinship “Facebook official.” How romantic…

But, other than display a online chronology of a relationship, we’re not certain what a purpose of this new underline indeed is. Your friends can’t entrance your “us” page and there is no approach to customize or personalize it. All of that are substantially for a best—no one wants to see a unrestrained corner Facebook form we done about we and your boyfriend. Heck, we’re not certain we wish to see one of us and the guy.

What do we guys consider of this new feature?
