" summary

Explains how Open Graph encodes stories as user + action + object and exposes photos, place tags, user tags and objects via an API so apps can publish full-fidelity items into News Feed and Timeline. Claims Open Graph drives over a billion actions a day since its 2011 launch. Describes Timeline updates: single-column stories, left-hand app sections for music/books/movies, and a timeline fitness section that aggregates runs, routes, mileage and pace into visual summaries.
