Get Your Facebook Timeline Right Now In Four Simple Steps

I was curious how I could get my Timeline before September 30 so I did some digging. What I found was four easy steps to get it right away:

1) Go to http://developers.facebook.com and sign up for a developers account (if you don't already have one). They will ask to confirm your account with a text message to your cell phone. This takes a little while but it's definitely worth it.

2) Once your Developer Account is setup go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps, click "+ Create New App" and just put some sample stuff in there. For the namespace just put something random and make sure it's more than seven characters.

3) Once you created your app go to "Open Graph" on the left of the screen for that app and enter something simple like "watch" and "movie" then click "Get Started". This will bring you to a page with a bunch of fields - simply click "Save Changes" and "Next" until you're at the end.

4) Wait a few minutes and then head to your profile. You should see a box talking about Timeline with a "Get it Now" and you're in!

Please let me know in the comments if this worked for you. If it did not let me know where you got stuck and I'll try and figure out a solution. Enjoy!
