The best part of Facebook is using it as a mirror, and what a mirror they’ve made today — a Timeline that pulls together your “20 biggest moments,” life events, how many people you friended, and other crowning achievements.
So what’ll you find? I was presented with a group shot I took on Election Night (significant!), a photo of me eating chicken nuggets (insignificant!), a few statuses I shared of varying significance, and all of the birthday wishes I got on my wall. If you try not to think of these as the 20 best things that happened to you over the past year — which is depressing — the retrospective is still a lot of fun. Facebook’s Timeline is about nostalgia and staring at your past, and this end of year review serves up a nice neat helping. And seeing that you’ve added 111 friends in just 11 months is wonderfully jarring.

My girlfriend broke up with me 3 weeks ago after 13 months together… Doing this is going to be super depressing!
With enough special effects, it could actually look cool.
I’m sort of on the same boat, only slightly worse.
Can we safely say Sam Biddle has had a good year?
That’s probably because he doesn’t read his articles on Giz.
I’d be interested, except for resis’ 1st Law:
It’s Facebook. Therefore it’s shite.
Exactly – “awesome” and “Facebook” in the same sentence? what gives?
BIddle has the creepiest face I’ve ever seen in that bottom righthand picture.
He also doesn’t know his left from his right.
Mine is so boring, most of the stuff is recent, as I’ve started using it more again. I know, I’m a moron.
Quite pleased with the result, brought my best mates wedding up and my birthday messages. Cool feature, cheers for pointing it out
