How To Get New Facebook Profile!


Yesterday Facebook announced the new profile, timeline, but the beta version doesn’t won’t come out until at least the end of this month, if not later, and you have to sign up for it in advance — but, there’s a way to activate it right now, without the wait.


Facebook gives developers early access to timeline so they can develop applications for it. However, you don’t really have to be a real developer, just pretend to be one! Here’s how.


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.

Notice the upgrade is irreversible, so don’t shoot the messenger if you don’t like it.
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

Is it legit and safe?

Is it legit and safe?

100%, I wouldn't post otherwise :)

[DPS]

100% works ive done it, im going to get used to it before its released :)

[Accipiter]

Tryed and testing, its not much really just a little fun! :(

[peteyt]

Tried this a few days ago and got it to work. Its interesting but not too sure what I fully think at the moment.

[Jordan]

May sound stupid but if we do this do we risk the chance of our account being disabled?

[Slowpoke]

I wanted to get used to it now, so I've done it. But wow, what an absolute mess is all I can say. It's disgusting and too personal. I might disable my Facebook, too much info

[Chris]

Done it, thanks for the guide! I think its actually quite a nice update for once.

[j0rd]

Done this yesterday and it works, there's loads of tutorials on YouTube too

Do you not think it's too personal?!

[GoldenMerc]

Really really ugly!

[Chris]

Do you not think it's too personal?!

Not really. Its exactly the same information but its just more accessible.

[Slowpoke]

Really really ugly!

I know right :@


Not really. Its exactly the same information but its just more accessible.

I don't want it like that though! :( It's going to cause so many headaches

[Jordan]

I just did it to have a look and then removed it because I don't want to risk the chance of my account being disabled (not like it will but i just don't want to 8-))

but

I love it looks really really good imo

[triston220]

I did this a few days ago and I have to admit I'm not used to it yet. :P Everything seems quite cluttered.

[Recursion]

1. No one's account will be disabled for doing this
2. It's 100% safe and official
3. I love the new update! :D
4. It's the same info, just more accessible and you can hide things from view, so not too personal IMO.

I really don't like how Facebook is changing so much. Everything is getting a little too complicated, I don't use Facebook too much any more so I might just deactivate my account. I'll wait and see with this update, if I don't like it Facebook's going. Thanks for the guide though. :)

Totally Agreed

Nothing about the new timeline but this is has happened due to the new changes: Any person who wants to sign up to spotfiy now has to have a facebook account no matter what, there is no other way to make an account. This has quite annoyed a few people who already have accounts and other people think this is a bad idea and so on.

Edit: Heres an article on it: http://eu.techcrunch.com/2011/09/26/controversy-as-spotify-requires-new-users-to-be-on-facebook-first/

[GoldenMerc]

Is this timeline defiantly going to be Live for everyone then?

Yeah should be very soon.

[DPS]

Do you not think it's too personal?!

You could just edit what you want people to seee man, isnt hard.

[e5]

God the new thing is crazy haha!

Cheers for this :)

[Casio]

[Casanova]
