The Life Of Steve Jobs: A Facebook Timeline
I was minding my own business on Twitter last night — just kidding, I never mind my own business on Twitter — when this popped up in my feed. I can’t remember who tweeted it first, but I was amazed and delighted, so I had to share.
Steve Jobs' life, on Facebook: facebook.com/steviepauljobs

That’s right: Steve Jobs’ life, as a Facebook timeline. And it's quite wonderful, so I had to share it with you guys, too.
What better way to celebrate the life, and the legacy, of the man who brought us the things we write about and discuss each day here at AppAdvice? It’s quite an interactive biography experience, and better yet: we can enjoy it on these iDevices he created.
There was something I found amusingly ironic while navigating Jobs’ life via Facebook, though: When I clicked on a video to watch it, it prompted me to install a Flash plugin. And because we all know how Jobs felt about Flash, I couldn’t help but laugh.
Facebook and Apple have had their squabbles, but, in the end, Jobs really respected Zuckerberg.
We talk about social networks in the plural, but I don’t see anybody other than Facebook out there. Just Facebook. They are dominating this. I admire Mark Zuckerberg for not selling out, for wanting to make a company. I admire that a lot. –Steve Jobs
