Facebook has begun rolling out Timeline to users in New Zealand. Timeline was first announced in September at f8. Timeline is a new way of sharing content about yourself on Facebook. The Timeline page is a single page that has all of your history in chronological order right back to the beginning of your account.

“We announced Timeline in September and made it available to developers building apps on our platform. Since then, over a million people have signed up for the developer beta to access Timeline. The feedback we’ve received so far has been invaluable. Starting today, we are making Timeline more widely available as we measure speed and other types of performance. We’ll begin by making it available to people in New Zealand and then roll it out more broadly in the near future.”
