Take your creeping to the next level

Remember when Facebook let you stalk that hot, mysterious partygoer on Sunday mornings? Or was just a distraction during your Monday morning lecture? There was Farmville, Mafia Wars, the “Like” button didn’t exist and life was simpler. But those days are behind us now. Earlier this week, Facebook unveiled its new home page, as well as a new prototype – “Timeline.

Though there’s been quite the hullabaloo over the “new” Facebook – three news feeds on one page? Way too much – Timeline has gone relatively unnoticed. The new app allows you to see the entire sequence of the user’s life – birth, growing up, break ups, marriage, etc. The app also allows users to post music so people visiting (ahem, wasting time) their page can listen along.

The app offers a home page of sorts which users can customize with photos, friends, maps, info, likes and statuses.

The release date has not been announced yet, but my recommendation is to get ahead on your school work for the next, uh, three years to counter all the creeping you’re bound to do in the TECH Center.
