So, you sat home last night and watched the f8 Developer Conference like a regular geek. You definitely must’ve heard about the new and improved Facebook profile called Timeline that they announced at the conference yesterday. Well, looks like it’ll take months to reach out to everyone who’s using Facebook. However, if you were truly impressed with new Timeline profile, then there is a way that you can try it out right away to see how and what it feels like.

Even though it’s all cool and pretty to look at, it does take some time to set it all up, so I’m not really sure if regular Facebook users take all the time to get the Timeline setup.

So, if you’re one of those who want to try out the new and fresh Facebook Timeline Profile, then here’s an easy tutorial on how to enable it even before it’s available to the public. To do this, you’ll need to enable Developer mode and even create an app, but don’t worry, it’s pretty simple.
