How to Change Your FB Profile to Facebook Timeline

Are you wondering how your friends and family have changed their Facebook profiles to the “cool” new Facebook Timeline look?  You may have noticed this by seeing a huge masthead or banner at the top of someone’s profile page.

You don’t want to be left behind and in the uncool crowd, do you?  No.  So, let’s get you switched over to the new Facebook Timeline profile.

All you have to do is log into your Facebook account and then go to:

www.facebook.com/timeline

Next, click on the button that says “Get Timeline”.  That’s it!  You’re officially COOL and not a loser like your other Facebook friends that don’t have Timeline.  If you don’t see the green “Get Timeline” button after going to this site it may be because your Facebook account is relatively new or you don’t have enough friends.  Add a few and make some posts and you should be good to go.

Facebook Interactive Online Experiences

Tired of the same old liking, sharing, tagging and commenting on Facebook?

The viral web sites below offer unique and interactive experience with your Facebook profile.  Many will take your photos, status updates, friends and other information and seemlessly weave them into an existing video to tell a story…. with you as a character.

Here are some that I’ve found so far:

Take This Lollipop – a super creepy, sort of hilarious experience.  SPOILER ALERT: Connect with Facebook and you will see a greasy looking creepy guy with dirty fingernails that seems to be accessing your Facebook account.  He caresses the computer screen and looks through your profile photos.  He even goes to the point of looking up your location on Google Maps!  Once he finds your location he gets in the car and drives to your home to pay you a visit.  The last scene shows the inside of his car with your photo taped to the dashboard.

The creepy guy actor in Take This Lollipop is Bill Oberst Jr. He was in movies such as The Secret Life of Bees and A Haunting in Salem.

Here’s a trailer sneak preview…

Another interactive experience is Intel’s The Museum of Me. Connect with Facebook and it shows your Facebook profile as if in a museum.

I’m on the lookout for similar experiences and will post em as soon as I find them.
