Facebook announced Timeline during their f8 event last September 22, 2011.
A timeline is a way of displaying a list of events in chronological order, sometimes described as a project artifact . It is typically a graphic design showing a long bar labeled with dates alongside itself and (usually) events labeled on points where they would have happened. And for Facebook, Timeline tells your story with a new kind of profile.
