Gone is that the single column wall of posts with the foremost recent updates telling '15 minutes of your story.' Instead, because the name suggests, you will see a timeline of life events containing photos and alternative updates that stretches back to once you joined Facebook. Anyone viewing it will click back to any year where there are updates and see what was occurring.
Facebook automatically selects the foremost vital updates and highlights them with a blue dot. gray dots represent hidden updates that may not be as vital. Users will organize their Timeline but they see work by removing bound updates or highlighting others that may be vital to them. The feature can begin rolling out to the general public over ensuing few weeks, however developers will sign on for early access currently. Here's how you'll get it too:
