USA TODAY is launching its new Timeline page on Facebook today, offering a look at 30 years of American history.
Our approach was this: If USA TODAY had a Facebook page in 1982, what would it have looked like? What information would we have shared?
The result, we hope, is a nostalgic look back at the events and people that have shaped our country in the nearly 30 years since USA TODAY became the first truly national newspaper. You can see it at www.facebook.com/usatoday.
The Facebook Timeline format for profiles was first shown by Facebook in September. Brands on the social network were given the chance to launch Timeline pages this month and all pages will automatically be converted Friday.
Digging back through the Timeline, you'll find political changes, international events, pop-culture events and even the Super Bowl commercials that sparked national discussions.
USA TODAY has had a front-row seat for those events.
Listen to the music, watch the videos and check out the images that have left a mark on our national history. After all, our story is your story.
Be sure to leave your comments and thoughts, and share with your friends.
We'll be adding much more this year as we continue the work we love: telling America's story.
- Mark W. Smith, senior marketing manager, social media; and Mary Hartney, social media editor
