Early last week Facebook introduced 60 new apps that would work with its new Timeline profile feature. Tuesday the company announced that everyone will get a chance to use the apps as it will be requiring all Facebook users to switch over to the new profile in a few weeks. 

The Timeline profile, which was introduced in September of 2011, turns user's profiles into a visual timeline of that person's life since joining the social network. It's vast departure from the Facebook profile format that has been more or less the same since its inception in 2004. 

The announcment came via a blog post published on Facebook's company blog: 

"Last year we introduced timeline, a new kind of profile that lets you highlight the photos, posts and life events that help you tell your story. Over the next few weeks, everyone will get timeline."

Like past revisions to the Facebook interface, expect this one to draw ire from a bunch of users.
