Link : Facebook Timeline Launch Delayed in Federal Court Case

Although a federal judge has refused to grant a temporary restraining order on Facebook at the request of Timelines.com, a small Chicago company that claimsFacebook’s new Timeline feature threatens its business, Facebook has promised to delay a full launch.

Facebook Timeline, a feature that reorganizes users’ profiles into multimedia-rich scrapbooks of past updates, has been expected to go live any day. Some 1.1 million users havealready installed the feature on their profiles by enabling developer access.

The judge in Timelines.com’s patent lawsuit declined the site’s request to disable users from signing on through the developer program. He did, however, order Facebook to report daily how many new developers were enabling the Timeline.
