At Facebook’s F8 Conference ( yearly event with the idea to bring together the developers and entrepreneurs who love to work with Facebook and build the social web ) Mark Zuckerberg introduced ‘Timeline’

Timeline is a major Profile Redesign which shows your profile as your story of life, all in one single page. As you go back in time, it shows the major events/updates happened in your life, the farther you go back in time, only the key moments of life are shown until you reach a small baby icon which indicates your birth.
You can add in things in your timeline to make it more realistic and add in events of your life which you never shared or back then when you didn’t have a Facebook Account.

As always this feature is still in Beta and everyone would get it in few weeks but you can sign up for an invite on Facebook Timeline page.
