With help of these apps, users can now enhance their Timeline telling their own story, including their hobbies such as cooking, traveling, running etc. After adding an app, users start updating their Timeline with their activities as they happen. For now, there are more than 60 apps that users can add to their Timelines and decide who can see it.
For instance, if you love to cook, you simply add the Foodily app to your Timeline and share your latest dishes. If your friends have added the Foodily app, you can share new recipes with each other. Or, if you love design, shopping or fashion, you can add the Pinterest or Pose apps to make your favorite products part of your Timeline.
Travelers apps include Gogobot and TripAdvisor with which you can share the places you’ve been to and gives you tips about spots from around the world.
Facebook will be rolling more apps depending on its users demand. “Whether you love snowboarding, gardening, hiking, or knitting, or something else, there will be an app for you,” says Carl Sjogreen, director of platform on the Facebook blogspot.
Facebook also provides a video showing how to add apps to your Timeline that can be viewed here.
