You don’t. It will become mandatory.
Over the next few months, anyone still refusing to voluntarily switch to the Timeline profile redesign will be automatically migrated, Facebook tells me. Users could choose to adopt the redesign starting in January, but there have been some hold-outs who didn’t want their whole life becoming easier to access, or just ...

Yes.
See: Facebook Graph API reference at "Publishing":
You can publish to the Facebook graph by issuing HTTP POST requests to
the appropriate connection URLs, using an access token.

Facebook allows posting animated gifs but stops them from actually being animated programmatically. There are a few apps out there that claim to let you animate your profile, but anyone visiting would need to have that app installed as well to see it.
you can't upload swfs to Facebook, and videos won't autoplay.
I do have to admit, you gave a lot of ...

Because the tweet in your example is not a reply (note that it doesn't show the tweet they're replying to). A tweet is considered a reply when you click the "reply" function in the website or a Twitter client. This sets the in_reply_to_status_id parameter of the tweet, which is how Twitter knows it's a reply to a specific tweet. If you simply begin typing, ...

Just get people to go to their messages and see if the offending comments showing in their timeline show up there. I can guarantee they won't. Because they now have timeline they can't go back and check their old wall posts so they assume the things they posted must have been private messages but they weren't. People used to post back and forth between ...

Those are retweets.
Keep in mind:
If you see a new face in your timeline, it's because someone you follow retweeted something they thought you should see. In the message, you’ll see the picture and username of the original user, who was retweeted by someone you follow. Turn off Retweets for that person if you don’t like what they share.

Without explicitly changing privacy settings for the jobs you don't want to appear, it seems Facebook will choose the most recent job.
Example.
Job 1: 2009 to present
Job 2: 2010 to present
Facebook will always choose Job 2
In the case where a user does not fill out the start date
Job 3: (No date shown)
Facebook will still choose Job 2
If one ...

Refer mentioned information at Facebook Share:
The og:image is the URL to the image that appears in the Feed story. The thumbnail's width AND height must be at least 50 pixels, and cannot exceed 130x110 pixels. The ratio of both height divided by width and width divided by height (w/h, h/w) cannot exceed 3.0. For example, an image of 126x39 pixels will ...

You should make your Facebook albums public, so that everyone could view them. If the albums are public, then they will be visible in searches and all you would have to do to share the photos would be to share the link.

Although there is no control to hide this, it will only show a mutual friend to someone if one of the two people's friend lists are already visible. So if you hide your friend list, someone visiting your timeline will only see mutual friends that have their friend list visible to that person. So although Facebook makes it easier, the visitor can already ...

As I said in the comments
I have read in some places that the username is held for a bit (a few weeks) before it's released. Now it's not to say it's not possible; Zuck had his personal profile merged with his page and got a permanent redirect on one, but it's whether Facebook is inclined to help every soul out there.
So it is possible some lag time ...

Friends of A may see A's activity in their news feeds in case 1.
Subscribers of B who also posted on A's post on B's wall may also see B's activity in their news feeds in case 2.
Subscribers of B may see B's activity in their news feeds in case 3.

There isn't really anyway to know for sure why friend A sees the section and friend B does not. You may need to compare actual activity per post. For example my music section will always appear regardless of what future privacy setting I have placed because all previous stories were set to public.
The same goes for the likes section
You can try setting ...

in short, Yes.The app can get the user's information via API but depends only on what kind of access that the user granted to the app.

Posts that you liked or commented won't appear in your Timeline unless you shared them. The liked post will appear to your friends on their news feed according to their news feed settings. This is not a glitch, it's an intended behavior.
Allowed in Timeline means, if your friends can see this activity on their news feed or not

Unfortunately, Facebook settings allow only one of two options:

I have an answer to your question.
If you're looking for a particular string of characters, just search it like you would search in the top search box (as if you were going to search for a friend or page on Facebook).
Then when you get your results scroll down through the friend and page results, and Facebook will have searched through your timeline for ...
