PrintMost users will have to wait a few weeks before they get to see Facebook's most drastic changes to the service since the company was founded, but you can use a developers workaround to gain access to the Timeline feature right now.
Developers already have access to early beta versions of the features. Luckily for users eager to try out the new Facebook, becoming a developer is a simple process that shouldn't take you more than 5 or 10 minutes.
Facebook announced the updates Thursday at the company's f8 developers' conference.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Here's how you do it.
First log into Facebook and enable developer mode. The easiest way to do this is to just type "developer" into Facebook's search box and click the first result. It should look like this.
You'll have to retype your password and allow the developer app basic access to your account before you see a screen that looks something like this.
This is the basic developer page. We're going to convince Facebook we're real developers and create an app that uses its new "Open Graph" tech. Don't worry, it's not nearly as hard as it sounds.

For example, Port 23 (Telnet) is a favorite target for attacks observed to be originating from South Korea and Turkey, where it accounted for more than five times the number of attacks targeting the next most popular port (445 in both countries). Other instances of geography-based port targeting include observed attacks centered on Port 1433 (Microsoft SQL Server) in China and on Port 80 (WWW/HTTP) in Indonesia.
