There is yet another massive change going to happen after tiker, close friends etc features @Facebook. This time it is Timeline and the way your profile will look like. This feature is available with FB developers only till date but 'you can have it' in a matter of minute by becoming a developer, seriously it will take you a minute or so to call yourself as developer on Fb. Facebook Timeline Redefines Your Facebook. Look at the marked changes of my profile in the two pics below.
I know, u wanna have it too, ok as you wish. You just have to complete a few very easy steps on Fb.
The steps are:
First, you'll need to go to the Facebook developer page, which is a part of your Facebook account. Make sure you're logged into your Facebook account, and then simply follow this link to get started.
1. When you get here via the link, click "allow."
2. Click "create new app"
3. Name it whatever you want, and give it whatever namespace you'd like...it doesn't matter. Click the checkbox "I agree to the platform privacy policy." And then click Continue, pass the security check by filling in the Captcha, and you'll be ready for the next step.
4. Now you'll reach the below screen, where you'll need to click "Open Graph" on the left side.
5. You'll see the next screen, entitled "Get Started with Open Graph" fill in anything you want (e.g i am awesome and cool OR read a book) in those fields under the heading "start by defining one action than one object for your app." Click Get Started.
6. On this screen, do nothing except scroll to the bottom and click "Save Changes and Next." Do the same thing on the next screen.
7. You'll be taken to this screen. Wait few seconds, and then go to your Facebook homepage. That's where you'll be invited to enable Timeline. Be patient at this point. sometimes it requires you to wait before the changes take effect.
8. When you go back to your Facebook homepage, you'll see this. Success! Click Get It Now, and you're in!
You've Done It!
Here's where you play with your timeline or customize it, and when you click Publish Now, your Timeline goes live.
- When will we be able to opt into the Timeline without the need for going through these developers' steps? Stefan Parker, Facebook UI Engineer on Quora replied, "There is no set date though."
- FB Timeline Definition: Share and highlight your most memorable posts, photos and life events on your timeline. This is where you can tell your story from beginning, to middle, to now.
