According to news sources like this, the newest Facebook feature is controversial. It is a timeline layout for Facebook profiles. It is kind of like a digital diary of events, status updates, likes, important moments in your life, and more.
It is being rolled out to people in New Zealand first, and then, in the near future, it will be rolled out more broadly.
I've had it since September (and I'll tell you how to get it before it's rolled out to everyone in a minute here), and I like it. Here are a couple of pictures of how my profile looks with the timeline feature:
The clouds on the top of my profile is a photo taken by me. On the page, it is called a cover, and you can personalize it and change it as often as you want! On the right side, you see: Now, November, October, 2011, 2010, etc. You can click those to view posts from those times. Of course, if you choose 2011, it will show you the other months to look at. In my case, I put an event down for 2002, and my actual first post on Facebook was in 2004.
Do you want the timeline now? Here's how:
** IMPORTANT! Once you do this, you can't go back.
1. Visit the Facebook Developer page and enable it for your account. (allow)
2. Click the 'Create New App' button on the top right. On the New App prompt window, give your app a display name and name space -- any name, it doesn't matter. Agree to the Platform Privacy Policy and click Continue. You will need a verified Facebook account so make sure you have either a credit card or phone number on file.
3. After clearing the CAPTCHA verification you will then be taken to your new apps' settings screen (if Facebook doesn’t put you there automatically hit the Edit App button on the top right). Next, click on Open Graph link in the left column and define an action for your new app on the right pane. You can enter whatever you like; I wrote watch on the first field and chose video from the drop-down menu on the next one. Click "Get Started."
4. DONE!
