Timeline, the story of your life. Facebook has decided to step forward in the way that users can use it. Facebook Want to become more than just a social network linked to the present, wants to be our online autobiography.
That's what he wants with the first of the novelties presented at the keynote today: a complete change in our profile and our way of sharing that lets go of the past, which gives more importance to the chronology of our lives that is designed to share more things at once, you can access them later (and also expose more of our lives).
"The heart of the experience Facebook, rethought from scratch," so Zuckerberg has introduced its Timeline.
Timeline is more than just a timeline like twitter, as might appear by name: it is a complete chronology that makes Facebook into something of a digital autobiography and it's automatic.
Displays events, images, updates considers important applications.
Also, ability for the user the to go back in time and look for status updates, photos or anything else going to the time when they occurred.
The idea is to add content to Timeline that allows not only the most current, but also at any time in your biography. If you want to put pictures of 1980, when there was no Facebook, you can do it.

What is Timeline for applications and profiles?
Facebook team says it has discovered that the user wants to use some applications to express themselves and to tell things about yourself .
Thus, Facebook introduced the Reports, in which applications are collecting user information. And the user decide which apps appear in your timeline to "express who you are," said Zuckerberg.
The third piece that Facebook wants to change with Timeline is the way to share content. Want to give users the ability to customize their profiles, their chronology , change to your liking.
Timeline will be available within weeks, but today the applications that are compatible with it and begin to be open to all users.
