  • Then click on Create New App. Creating this will not harm you or your settings in any way. If you already have an developer account, then it will be easy for your update.
  • Make sure you type the App Display Name and Namespace, click continue.
  • Click on Open Graph >> Getting Started.

  • Type something like you see on the pic "Take a ride on the freaky car". You can type anything because it is just a action command.
  • Make sure you Save All Changes after the above settings are done. You will now receive an update on your homepage for the preview and the update.
You can either choose the update or wait until Sept 30, 2011 for the official update. :)

Enjoy the Developer Release! :)

Note: The new profile does look good and innovative but it is just obvious that one who views your profile will get to know your history in a matter of few minutes.

@Yogesh

Those who have the old profile will see it that same way only. Only those who have upgraded will see the change and not everyone.

It will be available for all from Sept 30, 2011.

@Staffs

Can someone edit the title as ACTIVATE?
