Facebook Timeline and Users: Not Quite a Love Affair [POLL RESULTS]

When news broke last week that Facebook Timeline was coming to all Facebook users, it answered the question many people had been wondering: "What's taking so long?" However, now we're faced with a more pressing question: Is Facebook Timeline for All what all really wants? Mashable's poll sought to answer that burning question.

By one measure, the answer is, "Perhaps not." At least that's the sentiment Mashable's poll, which asked, "How are you affected?", uncovered last week.

In the poll, exactly 50% of nearly 1,600 respondents said they currently have Facebook Timeline.

However, a survey of the results would indicate that while some users are receptive to Timeline, most aren't thrilled about the prospect of the feature becoming universal. In fact, 79% of more than 1,500 voters wish that Facebook Timeline were optional.

Of course, it should be noted that this data is merely anecdotal, and shouldn't be seen as a comprehensive overview of how users feel about Facebook Timeline. Additionally, users were not required to answer all the questions, so some discrepancies persist. Regardless, it's worth pointing out that the results don't yield a landslide of early support for the new product.

We also asked our Facebook community to tell us what they'd change, and the responses were tremendous. See what they had to say here.

The poll remains open, so feel free to add your perspective if you haven't yet by answering questions below, or pose a question of your own.
