Facebook told me I wouldn’t be getting their new Timeline feature until September 29th, but I wanted it now. Luckily we’ve figured out a way that you can get Facebook Timeline today. We’ve created a simple tutorial so you can activate Timeline in a few easy steps.

Step 1:

Go to the Facebook homepage and search for the word “developer” in the search box. You want to select the “Facebook Developer App”
