HOW TO Get New Facebook Timeline 2011

A few hours back I had been watching Mark Zuckerberg live at the F8 revealing some awesome changes that would occur on Facebook. The major change would be the Timelinewhich makes you share your thoughts in a much better way, thanks to the cover of thetimeline.

If you have to search for something you had shared on Facebook earlier, you might use a third party service like social searching as it is really inconvenient to scroll down your wall and search for something, It is practically impossible if you had shared it a few months back and hence the Timeline has been introduced.

The timeline lets you vie your updates according to months and years which would be displayed on the right. It also divides your updates into small boxes giving your profile a cool look. You can also feature a post on your timeline, which would make the post feature in full width and hence more noticeable. An example of it can be seen below.
