    Facebook introduced "Timeline": https://www.facebook.com/about/timeline

    Want to try this already? Here's how:
    1. Type in "Developer" in the search box, an app with the name will show up. Click it and start it. It will take you to the developer app.
    2. Create a new app. Name it anything. Be sure to fill out the name space too. Don't worry, this will mean nothing
    3. Now be sure to be on your app's main page (https://developers.facebook.com/apps) and click "Open Graph"
    You should be here now
    Applications -> App name -> Open Graph: Getting started.
    4. Now you should be at a page where you can define an action for your page. Type in eat a sandwich
    5. You should be at a configuration page now, go to the bottom and click save changes and next.
    6. Continue to click save changes and next til it says finish or something.
    Wait a little while.
    Now go to your facebook homepage. (www.facebook.com) . At the top you should get an invite to try Timeline yayy

    Btw, it will be launched at oct 4th.

    Did you do it?

    I heard that for a period of time you were able to see people whom you've deleted or have deleted you.

    I have it, yes :) It has quite a few bugs which annoy me though. But I never heard about being able to see deleted friends .. ? :eek:
    Okay, I googled it, and this came up: http://etipsville.com/tips/how-to-find- ... -timeline/ but you can't see whether you unfriended them or they did :p

    Erhm... am I the only one who finds this a bit scary? Facebook is pretty much mapping your entire life now.

    No facebook is storing WAY to much of our personal information.. Problem being, even if we delete it. Facebook can still access it.

    Yep, that's it exactly it. (You can't remember if you've unfriended a person?)

    From what I've told they have deleted it, so you can't look at it anymore.

    Yes, I think it is going overboard. A little scary. I can see it being useful if we're old people and want to reminisce, but it is scary in terms of privacy. Something interesting though - you can download all the information that Facebook has on you.

    I haven't downloaded mine yet, but FB judged it at over 900MB worth, which is a little bit scary.

    To be honest, I frequently defriend people, so no I'm not sure anymore who unfriended who. But it worked for me, so I guess its not been patched :p
