Get your New Facebook Profile Timeline

Yesterday Facebook had announced the new Profile Timeline to the developers as few Facebook users will able to use the new profile timeline. here you go following steps to complete enabling New Facebook Profile time. As here Facebook give permission to have check the new Profile Timeline as you don’t have to be developer to test the demo! 

Step 1: Start Facebook’s Developer Application

 

Facebook has a page, a group and an application called Developer — you want to click on the app, which you can find here.

If you’ve never used this app before, you’ll need to allow it to access your basic information, the same way you would when launching anything else for the first time on Facebook.

After you’ve installed the Developer tool, click on “create a new app,” a button that appears in the top right corner of the screen.

Step Two: Make Up A Name

 

Developer asks you to provide some information about this app you just clicked the create button for.

A pop-up asks you to input a display name and a namespace, and two of them can’t be exactly the same. It’s simplest to type in your full name for the first field and then in the second area, type it in without any spaces between words.

Then a security popup window pops up, asking you to type in the letters you see.

Step Three: Launch Open Graph

 

Within the left-hand column, click on the words “open graph.”

Fill out two different verbs. You can use “get profile” or choose whatever you want.

Now you’re almost done.

After a few minutes, your profile will display a notification across the top suggesting you try timeline.

Click “get it now” and start playing with your timeline.

upgrade is irreversible, so don’t shoot the messenger if you don’t like it or if you deleted the app the profile timeline will be deleted.

Until the beta version of timeline becomes available to non-developers — Facebook says this will happen on September 30 — only people who’ve upgraded their profiles to timelines will be able to see your timeline.
