The biggest feature that will impact all Facebook users is the new Timeline which is a view of your life on and off Facebook based on the things you have shared. Â I have not been excited about a new Facebook feature in a while, but I have to admit after using Timeline for an entire evening, it was amazing to go back and see what I was doing, what I was working on and what I was experiencing 5 years ago.
The new profile is laid out beautifully and does a good job conveying the most important things that happened in my life. Â Facebook announced only developers could try the new Timeline feature, but it is easy for anyone to turn on the feature. Â Here is how:
- Log into Facebook
- Search for developer and choose the first application. Â Alternatively you can enter the URL facebook.com/developer. Â Grant permission to the application:Â
- Create an app, give it a name and namespace, don’t worry you won’t actually share it with anyone, you just need to have an app to get the profile.
- Choose OpenGraph on the left navigation menu, and create a test action for your application.
- Wait a minute or two and then go to your Facebook home page and an invite to try out the new profile timeline will appear at the top of the screen.
Click the invite and enjoy all the memories of your Facebook life.
