Facebook's Timeline Launch Delayed

Facebook's Timeline service may have been delayed due a lawsuit by Timelines.com according to Mashable.

UPDATE: Nothing in the most recent legal filing indicates that Facebook changed its Timeline launch date as a result of the suit. However, several developers have noted that a message saying that Timelines would automatically publish to the public on September 29 has since been updated to October 6.

A federal judge has refused to grant a temporary restraining order on Facebook at the request of Timelines.com, a small Chicago company that claims Facebook’s new Timeline feature threatens its business But Facebook did say it would delay a full launch, according to PaidContent’s sources.

The article says that the public launch tht was set for September 29 has been update to October 6, but that was last week and no word yet on when the new date will be. I hope this case won't last forever. I'm excited about Timeline and think its a very cool idea. I really don't understand why Timelines.com sued facebook. Facebook isn't calling there profile 'timelines' with a 's' facebook's using the singular word timeline, so its not really the same word.
