Facebook this week started the rollout of its Timeline feature, but it is currently only available to users in New Zealand.
Timeline was announced in September, and serves as a digital "this is your life." Once available, users can chart their entire Facebook history via Timeline, from their first friend to the most recent status update.
"We'll begin by making it available to people in New Zealand and then roll it out more broadly in the near future," Sam Lessin, a product manager at Facebook, said in a blog post update.
Lessin told the New Zealand Herald that Facebook chose the country because its residents are primarily English speakers. "It's [also] far away from our data centers, so we can monitor speed and performance," Lessin said.
That monitoring could take awhile. "We're definitely taking our time with this one," Lessin said about the rollout.
Timeline was released to developers in September, and "since then, over a million people have signed up for the developer beta to access Timeline," Lessin said in his blog post. "The feedback we've received so far has been invaluable."
The announcement comes the same week that a reporting glitch accidentally exposed Facebook users' private photos—including those belonging to CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Last week, meanwhile, the Federal Trade Commission announced a settlement with Facebook that requires the social network to be more transparent about its privacy policies and submit to regular audits.
According to the FTC, Facebook "deceived customers by telling them they could keep their information on Facebook private, and then repeatedly allowing it to be shared and made public."
