Facebook has released 60 apps for that new time line thing that you're still not using.

Facebook is dramatically expanding Timeline, the re-imagining of its user interface, in a move that could delight consumers and vex some security experts. 

Thursday, it will unleash more than 60 apps for Timeline ranging from fitness (Nike) and events (Ticketmaster and Ticketfly) to food (Foodspotting) and movies (Rotten Tomatoes). The aim is to give Facebook's 800 million members additional reasons to spend more time on the site, by sharing their experiences with others as they happen.

The apps avalanche is the next stage in the development of Timeline and a major part of Facebook's push to maintain its competitive edge over Google+, which has about 40 million members. Late last year, Facebook got a face lift in the form of Timeline. Since then, it has methodically released apps — including a "Listen with" button that lets up to 50 members listen to songs at the same time.

"For the first time on the Internet, consumers can share with others what acts they are planning to see," says Andrew Dreskin, CEO of Ticketfly. "For example, on Timeline, you can say you plan to see Radiohead in San Jose in April."
