Over 50% Of Facebook Users Worry About Timeline

[![][1]][2]More than half of Facebook users are worried about [timeline][3], according to a poll of 4,110 people by Sophos.

More specifically, of the 4,110 respondents to the [Sophos poll][4]:

* 51.29 percent said [timeline][5] worried them;
* 32.36 percent said they didn't know why they were still on Facebook;
* 8.39 percent guessed they'd get used to timeline; and
* 7.96 percent liked timeline.

As Sophos pointed out, the type of Facebook user who would respond to one of its polls is likely more security-conscious than the average user on the social network.

Still, more than 50 percent expressing concern and fewer than eight percent giving timeline the thumbs-up isn't exactly a ringing endorsement.

Readers: Are you concerned about the security implications of the amount of personal information that can potentially be revealed by timeline if you don't use the settings correctly?
