So, if you don't activate timeline... there's nothing to sell?

The article mentions that Timeline will be activated on all Facebook accounts by the end of this year.

I really don't know, but it sure seems like a potential horrible, Netflix level misstep. There's no evidence that FB users want Timeline or that it will work the way they want their social network to work.

As an average FB user I must admit I don't see the appeal in Timeline. I don't find it clear nor readable but it could be some resistance to change.

OTOH, it's just your personal page, not your news feed. One probably has 100x the daily hits of the other.
