Last week, Facebook announced changes to the Profile, to include a Timeline that is a "friction-free" process for documenting our lives:
"Timeline is your collection of all the top photos, posts and apps that help tell your story. Learn more at http://www.facebook.com/about/timeline."
How soon before Facebook has all of the tools necessary to document our learning as well as our social graph?

I had this exact same thought when I switched over to the facebook timeline, there are so many parallels to portfolios! I am still unsure exactly what this means for those of us in the field of ePortfolios, but I like the idea of "lifelong & lifewide" learning, reflection, story-telling, & meaning-making having a broader reach and impact. My main concern or thought I keep coming back to is: How will those of us using ePortfolios in higher education compete with a social network that already dominates (and in some cases defines) our students' lives? Or maybe a better question is...should we even be competing?
