Timeline looks exciting, as per the demo that Mr. Zuckerberg gave at f8 dev conference today, which would add a cool new look to your Facebook user profile with some awesome features like “Way Back” which lets you add photos of your past at the start of your Story of Life

Facebook automatically adds photos, status updates and life events from your Facebook history to your timeline more like a virtual scrapbook.

Timeline is not open to all as of now and to get access to this cool new profile – Timeline, you need to sign up here and then wait for an invitation from Facebook – how soon that would happen, nobody knows!
