You will absolutely be blown away by the new Facebook Timeline. It's an amazing rethinking of profiles that will knock out Google+. It's pretty good even with your minimal profile, memories and stories that were otherwise buried.
A few hours back, Facebook announced Timeline. It’s like a story book of your life - everything that has ever happened in your Facebook lifespan.
Facebook said that Timeline would be on the way for everyone in weeks to come but it is enabling Timeline early for open graph developers.
A few things to note:
- You probably don’t want to do this unless you’re actually a developer. Expect bugs.
- Only you will see your timeline at first (unless you decide otherwise), but it will automatically go public after a few days.
- It seems that if you login into Facebook on another machine, Timeline gets disabled automatically on all of your machines. With that said, it seems you can get back to your timeline (but ONLY after following the steps below) by navigating to http://www.facebook.com/YOURUSERNAMEHERE?sk=timeline
- You’ll need to have a “verified” account for one of the steps, which means you need a credit card or phone number attached to the account.
Follow the steps below:
Follow the steps below:
1. Log into Facebook.
2. Enable developer mode, if you haven’t already. To do this, type “developer” into the Facebook search box, click the first result (it should be an app made by Facebook with a few hundred thousand users), and add the app.
3. Jump into the developer app (if Facebook doesn’t put you there automatically, it should be in your left-hand tool bar).
3. Jump into the developer app (if Facebook doesn’t put you there automatically, it should be in your left-hand tool bar).
4. Create a new app (don’t worry — you wont actually be submitting this for anyone else to see/use). Give your shiny new app any display name and namespace you see fit. Read through and agree to the Platform Privacy agreement. This is the step you need to be verified for.
5. Ensure you’re in your new app’s main settings screen. You should see your app’s name near the top of the page.
6. Look for the “Open Graph” header, and click the “Get Started using open graph” link.
7. This should drop you into an action type configuration page. Change a few of the default settings (I changed the past tense of “read” to “redd” — again, only you can see this unless you try and submit your application to the public directory), and click through all three pages of settings.
8. Wait 2-3 minutes.
9. Go back to your Facebook homescreen. An invite to try Timeline should be waiting at the top of the page.
And you’re done!
