Good one, Anson! I love the new timeline. It was about time for a more modern Facebook look, I think. Takes a while to get used to it, but I eased myself into it over a few days.
I agree Rika – I'm a fan of the new Timeline as well. From most of what I've heard however, people are pretty unhappy with it. I think it just takes some time to get used to and then its much better!
Thanks for reading!

Guess it is a case of being forced out of our comfort zone or old habits dying hard! Timeline really isn't so bad, once you take the plunge!
I have been searching for hours and you were the easiest to explain how to modify the app boxes under timeline for pages. BUT
I have been searching for hours and you were the easiest to explain how to modify the app boxes under timeline for pages. BUT how do you modify the quick link boxes on personal pages. I KNOW there is a way because I did it "accidentally" somehow but I don't know what I did. There are empty boxes so I know I can add more but the only option is gives me is maps and no other apps. I was able to add PInterest and Mashable but can't for the life of me figure out how it worked. Please help!! Also, I linked my facebook and slideshare account and I thought there is suppose to be a "box" along side my timeline that show my slideshare but I can't find that either. Can you help me with that too?
Thanks so much,

I have an organization page with "events" as one of quick links. How do I get timeline to choose the image for the next event rather than the one furthest away – which is what it is doing now.
Hey there – Just working on my timeline page for work and wondering how you add *new* apps to the dropdown menu. Basically I'm trying to add an RSS for my blog as one of the links/tabs and I'm not having much success… Watching your video I noticed you say "I don't have any apps to add right now" so how to do you add more? Thanks!
Steph,
As you connect more apps to your Facebook account, you still start to see them as options to add in the quick links section!
Hope that helps!
