We’ve seen countless tributes to Steve Jobs since he passed away on October 5, but the latest is really incredible. It’s a Facebook timeline that documents Steve’s entire life since the day he was born, and it’s truly jaw-dropping. I can’t imagine the effort that must have gone into this.
The timeline features literally hundreds of photographs and videos that feature Steve throughout his life, from the Electronics Club at Homestead High School back in 1969, to the day he stepped down from the role of CEO at Apple, and everything in between. It’s just like a wonderfully interactive biography that you can immerse yourself in for ours.
I did this morning when I first took a look at it. Whoever created this must have put a tremendous amount of time and effort into it, but I think it certainly paid off.
Be sure to check it out, especially if you’re a fan of Apple and Steve Jobs.
UPDATE: A number of readers have contacted me to say that the page has now been taken down. Those of you who had chance to look at it while it was live will know that’s a huge shame.

“Sorry, this user has already too many friend request.”
They need to make that profile PUBLIC. Open up subscriptions.
Only 2012, 2011 and Born if you’re not a friend.
Not true, I just scrolled through the whole damn thing. Give it a minute to load, it’s decades worth of photos and such.
I will definitely check this out.
