Facebook has announced two major new features for its social network: Timeline and real-time media sharing. These features will allow you to share “everything” including game activity, music, movies, and things you read online.In Facebook’s annual developers conference F8.Mark Zuckerberg announced this two new features.
Timeline, which went into beta today, is designed to let people go back in their lives, Zuckerberg said. “It’s how you can tell the whole story of your life on a single page.”
This is a significant change to the way Facebook looks. With Timeline, users will see several new sections, including visual tiles, ways to get all their apps, and a cover photo.
Above is my new profile page.There a large “cover photo” at the top of the page. The idea is that this allows users to jump back to their earliest Facebook posts.You can search your previous posts by year or month.. Click on a year in the timeline, and it scrolls down to that year. Years will also get broken down by month.See the right side of the above picture. In Timeline, users will be able to see everything shared recently. Users can roll their mouse over a point in time, and they instantly get the option to add photos, notes, and other items to that time period..Simply you can arrange your photos and details in the same year that it really happened.You can upload your photos in college days in the same month and year it was taken
If you are impatient and want to experience the new Timeline Facebook announced earlier today, you can turn it through the developer section of Facebook. The process is simple, takes a few minutes, and will require some patience as Facebook tidies up any lingering issues and bugs. Here goes:
If you are impatient and want to experience the new Timeline Facebook announced earlier today, you can turn it through the developer section of Facebook. The process is simple, takes a few minutes, and will require some patience as Facebook tidies up any lingering issues and bugs. Here goes:
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)
4. Create a new app and give any display name and namespace . 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. Create a test action for your app.
7. This should drop you into an action type configuration page. Change a few of the default settings, 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.
That’s it. Once you click on Get It Now, you will then be redirected to your new Timeline. Your Timeline is private, by default, for the time being.
A few things to note:
- 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.
