On September 22, Mark Zuckerberg introduces the new brand feature called “Facebook Timeline,” a visual representation of your entire life.

“Timeline can help you summarize all of your stories,” Zuckerberg said. Based on how far back you scroll in your Timeline, a different amount of events will be summarized including the date you were born and the day you started on Facebook.

Zuckerberg also announced that the new feature would be available in the coming weeks, but if you’re one of the users who can’t wait, there’s an easy way to enable it.

Before you do that, please take note of the following :

Timeline gets disabled automatically when you log in to another computer.

This version is only for developers so expect bugs.

Here’s the instructions :

First, log into Facebook

Enable developer mode, to do this, just type “developer” into the Facebook search box located above your profile, click the first result then add the app.

Next, go to developer app. In case Facebook doesn’t put you there automatically, it should be in your left-hand tool bar.

Create a new app. Provide any display name and namespace. Read and agree to the Platform Privacy agreement.

Make sure you’re in your new app’s main settings screen. You should see your app’s name near the top of the page.

Search for the “Open Graph” located at the mid part and click the “Get Started using open graph” link.

Last, make a test action for your app, like “watch” a “movie”, or “read” a “book” then click the green button that says “Get Started.”

Wait for a couple of minutes then as you go back to your homepage, you should see an invite to try Timeline. Click “Get It Now” and you’re done.

Facebook to Launch New Set of Buttons, Read, Listened, Watched & Want

Published on September 21, 2011 in Facebook, Social Networks and Technology. 0 Comments Tags: Facebook Like Button, Facebook Listened Button, Facebook New Buttons, Facebook Red Button, Facebook Want Button, Facebook Watched Button.

Facebook is now planning to add new set of buttons aside from “Like.” These new buttons are “Read,” “Listened,” “Watched.”

Facebook will also launch a social commerce button named “Want” after the introduction of the Read, Listened and Watched buttons.

According to TechCrunch, “It’s unclear what will happen to the Like button and how these new buttons will affect the Like button. And we don’t know what Facebook will do with this data, but there is so much the network could do with the data from these buttons. It seems pretty obvious that ad targeting would be a huge opportunity as well as the capability of delivering a more personalized experience for users. Not to mention that brands, retailers, entertainment companies and other businesses will be able to gain segmented data around the Like.”

The new Facebook buttons is expected to be introduced at the f8 Developer Conference next week.
