Facebook had an overhaul on their site this past week in order to better compete with the newly publicized Google+. Now the noise on the street is that Facebook’s new feature called Timeline, which is currently only a beta product, allows users to take a look back in time going as far as when they first joined the social networking site. Facebook has attempted to bookmark all the important days throughout a users life and create a sentimental scrapbook, for lack of a better word. For most people, this brings back old memories from nights out on the town during college, graduations, and weddings. Many believe it’s a great retrospective look on their lives, and it gives them a chance to scroll through and reminisce on some truly life changing and unforgettable moments. Still there are some people who are a bit nervous as to what may show up – old and bad habits, an ex-girlfriend, or a lost loved one that could strike some up emotions.
In order to get the new app, you can go here (http://on.fb.me/pw4UbZ) and sign up, which would be the official way to obtain it, or you can do it unofficially by following these steps that Mashable has provided for users – http://on.mash.to/pV92PF. However, when getting it through the unofficial method, you must be careful due to the fact that it is just a beta. Some steps may be irreversible and your Facebook page could begin doing some skeptical things like attracting some bugs that might be rooted in the app. Therefore, please journey at your own risk.
