3. What is Facebook Timeline?
• Timeline is a new feature in Facebook that
replaces the profile page. It shows the story of
your life, as you choose to tell it or as
Facebook has recorded it, in a
visual, scrolling, ordered timeline.
• Timeline uses an algorithm to assess the most
important moments of your life, which can
then be edited to your satisfaction. Unwanted
updates can be hidden from the Timeline.
