Facebook gives developers more ways to have their apps featured on user Timelines

Along with a Timeline redesign, Facebook today announced new features for developers to get their apps more prominently featured on users’ profiles.

Timeline includes new app and activity-driven sections that users can customize to highlight the categories and apps that are most important to them. Developers can configure “collections,” which showcase a user’s activity in their app. For example, Foursquare displays a user’s check-ins, badges, top places, saved places and map. These app sections will replace Timeline “aggregations,” which didn’t necessarily include all Open Graph stories and were not easily discoverable in the old UI.
