Facebook just announced a brand new feature at its F8 Conference called "Timeline," a visual representation of your entire life.
This feature alone hopes to extend the life and relevance of Facebook for years ahead.
The world's most popular social network announced its next chapter this week, a move that aims to make Facebook the platform through which every facet of our life funnels.
Facebook on Thursday opened up its platform to a whole new category of applications. These apps will allow Facebook users to enter almost everything they do into the social network — what they cooked for dinner, what book they're reading and what page they're on or what bike trail they just biked.
"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.
Timeline Views: Photos is the Timeline view that will replace your "Photos" tab. Maps looks like "Places" inside iPhoto, showing you pinpoints on a map for everywhere you've been in your life.
If you scroll all the way to the bottom of your timeline, you'll see an odd baby icon and the day you were born! Zuckerberg illustrated this new feature using a baby photo of himself.
Timeline also works with apps, which fill little "gadget" boxes inside your timeline. It's easy to add an app somebody else has to your own timeline.
With any given Timeline event, you have complete control over who can see it.
