A lot has already been covered about Facebook Timeline. A lot of critics (as expected) have negatively criticized Facebook Timeline while others consider it as the biggest gamble (which seems to be working) by Mark Zuckerberg. I will try not to bore you by discussing the same stuff over and over. Facebook Timeline is here to stay and we can either sit on the sidelines and let Timeline take control of the social world or we can be a part of this new movement.
Though I am a firm believer of swimming-against-the-tide yet, on this rare occasion, I will suggest you to enable Timeline on your Facebook Profiles. It is time that you become accustomed to the new social networking phenomenon.
It is easy. Really. Follow the steps below:
Wasn’t that really easy? Have fun with the new Facebook profile and keep reading to make it more attractive.
The new Facebook Timeline looks a bit complex though it actually isn’t. Let me take you through some of the tips that will come in handy when you start using Facebook Timeline.
Once you are accustomed to Facebook Timeline then it is time for some sort of beautification. Facebook Timeline provides the option to have one large image displayed on the top of your profile which gives your profile a completely new look. No other social networking website gives you the sort of look that the Facebook Timeline has to offer. Let me take you through some of the unique Facebook Timeline Covers that you can use right away on your Facebook Timeline.
I told you how to swim with the tide and be a part of Facebook Timeline phenomenon. I introduced you to some of the tips that can come in handy when you are about to use Facebook Timeline. Lastly, I presented some of the cover images that you can use on your Facebook Timeline. Now, before I wrap up, I will show some of the unique Facebook Timeline ideas that have garnered a lot of attention lately. These people were some of the very first people who successfully experimented with Facebook Timeline profile. Let us begin:
Andrew seems to be obsessed with the old look of Facebook. The obsession pushed him to give the new Facebook Timeline the look of old school Facebook. Pretty innovative I would say.
Mat’s Facebook cover page surely attracts attention when you look at it for the first time.
His Facebook Timeline profile goes with his name. Complex to figure out though simple once you know what it is.
Though there isn’t much that is unique with this Timeline Profile it’s still worth a view.
This is one rare Facebook Timeline profile that makes use of holiday seasons at its best.
Ever saw the Facebook Timeline style 404 error? Here is one for you to enjoy. It was sure that some will come up with a 404 Error page on their Timeline headers but this is pretty much the most different approach towards the 404 error page.
Robert’s Facebook Timeline Cover can easily be tagged as the most confused cover of them all. He still does not know what is on his mind!
Can’t explain anything about this Timeline profile. This has been doing rounds on the Internet due to its approach and it pretty much attracts all.
Another unique approach to Facebook Timeline Cover image.
Didn’t I tell you that QR Code‘s have their own marketing power? Here is another way to use QR code and attract attention.

One of my favorite features of the new timeline for Facebook pages aside from the cover photo is the ability to display an image of your choice on every app aside from the Photos app. You have to pull down that little arrow to the right of the apps list so it shows all your apps. Then when you hover the mouse over the top right corner of each app you can edit the image! Like this http://www.batteries4less.com
Love it! Thanks for such an informative article!

It’s taken me forever to get my head around the new changes to facebook – (I haven’t even sorted out the timeline on my social page, yet alone that for any sites I own). This is the best and clearest guide i’ve seen.
Thank you. Off to create a cool cover for my facebook timeline for the blog. Should be up in a few hours. Looking forward for some constructive feedback if anyone’s up to it. Thanks

i really want to create my own timeline like some examples show above.. :)
Friday, January 6th, 2012 20:43
I actually didn’t even bother to look at timeline because I assumed it would show everything from when I first started on facebook and it’s busy enough with all the updates and wall posts from everything I follow.
However I had no idea it involved the ability to customize the page – something I’ve been asking for since I first got on facebook 6 or 7 years ago – wow has it really been that long?

Can’t wait for “50 Inspiring Facebook Homepages” to become a regular feature on design blogs…some real winners shown here today for starters! Thanks for the tips. We’ll be urging clients to switch their layout, and articles like this will help in guiding them through the process ( which, as you articulated, is not so difficult!)

Thanks for this post. I myself was hesitant to start up the facebook timeline because I don’t particularly want it to be so easy for people to see everything I have done since I was born. However, with a little insight from this I gave it a shot and it is very easy to remove things from your playlist which is nice. Thanks
