Facebook yesterday announced a new profile feature called the Timeline that allows you to check back on everything you have ever done, all the way back to when you were born.
The feature hasn’t been available to the public yet, but there is a way you can get it right now. Here is what you have to do.
Step 1: Log into your Facebook account and follow this link.
Step 2: Next, you will be requested for permission, click “allow”.
Step 3: Click “Create New App” in the top right corner.
Step 4: Write anything in ‘name’ and ‘namespace’ field. Click the checkbox “I agree to the platform privacy policy” and then click continue.
Step 5: Click “Open Graph” in the left sidebar.
Step 6: On the next page, fill in anything in fields under the heading and click “Get Started”.
Step 7: Scroll down and click “Save Changes and Next”. Do the same on the next screen.
Step 8: After you are done with step 7, you will be taken to this screen. Wait for a few minutes and then go back to your Facebook homepage.
Step 9: On your homepage, you will see a message to get your timeline feature. Click “Get it now” and you are done. 😉
A few things to note:
- The feature is still in development phase, so expect a few bugs.
- For the time being, only YOU can view your timeline, but it will go public after a few days. In my case, it will go public on Septmber 30th.
- If you login from different device, timeline is disabled, although you can get it back by following this: link: http://www.facebook.com/YOURUSERNAMEHERE?sk=timeline
- You will 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.
