03 Nerding-Out Your Facebook Timeline!
If it were up to Mark Zuckerberg, your Facebook Timeline will literally say, you were born…
then you joined Facebook. Now let me be clear… nerds don’t wane nostalgic over trivial
things like baby’s first steps, or first words; we care about when you first saw Star Wars or
beat Super Mario Bros. So why not nerd-out your Facebook Timeline? Here are some
events we’re sure you’ll want to add to make your social life (at least look) complete.
