If you are not away from the tech world, then you should already heard of Facebook Timeline. Yes, we are a bit late on featuring it. Facebook is launching its latest improvement in the quality of the profile of reading, the timeline. In the timeline, if I may, will be the new default reading your profile, allowing users to quickly access other past activities on Facebook. Once released Facebook is the only factor that will see once you go to your Facebook profile page to read the timeline. There are a variety of significant changes that led to read a new profile. In this article, I will be able to highlight several of them.
How To Activate Timeline without delay
Facebook has stated that they will launch Timeline to the final public in a very few weeks, but if you're eager, you can try it out by enabling developer version of Facebook on your profile. We are not going to show in details now but TechCrunch has printed a (slightly complicated) technique of activating Timeline without delay. though their technique isn't strictly a hack because it uses Facebook’s own developer tools, it's a risky method and bugs are expected. Having said that I even have not experienced any problems when following their technique.
Overview of Timeline : The Top Part
- Unlike the present profile, the Timeline read is separated into 2 distinct halves, prime and bottom.
- Your current profile image that doesn't modification
- A new “Cover image” that takes up the bulk of the highest part. This image is meant to function a form of “cover” for the viewers of the your profile.
- The Timeline scrollbar permits you to leap to any purpose since you started using Facebook. As my scrollbar indicates, my earliest contact with Facebook was in 2009.

- Your “likes”
- And more
The top half additionally contains options like customizable “favourite apps” section slightly below the things five to eight. Here you'll be able to dump no matter apps you want to own fast access to.
Overview of Timeline : The Bottom Part
The bottom part may be a two-column interface dedicated to your activity on Facebook with prime photos, standing updates, wall posts from friends and primarily everything you get on my feet to on Facebook.
This part has the subsequent sections:

Scrolling all the way down to 2009, there's an area on behalf of me to feature a photograph of my graduation. Facebook has done plenty of labor to confirm its algorithms devour on these milestones. In fact, it's like Facebook intends to become additional sort of a scrapbook collecting your thoughts instead of merely an area for your friends to share wall posts and photos.
