At Facebook's f8 conference in San Francisco on Thursday, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a major overhaul of the social network's user profiles.
The new profile will feature a timeline that compiles your Facebook participation history like a scrapbook. Expect your entire profile page to look completely different. Photos will be bigger and new interactive options will abound.
In the spirit of the profile redesign, we've compiled a gallery that charts the evolution of the ubiquitous profile, from its humble beginnings as "The Facebook" in 2005 to the profile timeline introduced today, in 2011.
What do you think of all these big changes? Sound off in our open thread.
