It's been 2.5 months since Facebook unveiled the Timeline profile redesign at f8 and said the rollout would begin shortly. However, possibly due to product tweaks and a lawsuit from Timelines.com, until today the feature was only available to developers, or those who pose as them. But now, Facebook has announced that it will begin rollout of Timeline to all users beginning with New Zealand. The country was likely picked because it speaks English, which eases feedback processing, and isn't as interconnected with the rest of the user base as some other countries. Facebook will have to explain the privacy ramifications of Timeline very carefully. By making the entire history of a user's Facebook activity more readily accessible, embarrassing or objectionable content could be surfaced if users don't know to curate their Timelines properly.
