It was only a matter of time before an awesome Tumblr theme developer created a theme that looks exactly like Facebook’s Timeline. That time has come thanks to creative agency Playground, Inc.
In a blog post today, the company announced its new free Tumblr theme Facelr, which makes your Tumblr blog look strikingly similar to what your profile will look like on Facebook once Timeline launches publicly.
The company said:
Sharing on the Internet is getting easier and easier. Social networks and blogging platforms have led the way by helping people all around the world create a home for the content of their lives. We share moments and memories, pictures, thoughts and things that inspire us. We share funny things, sad things and, sometimes, embarrassing things. Today, Playground wants to share something fun.
Imagine if there was an easier way to Tumble. Introducing Facelr: a new kind of theme.
You can install Facelr for your Tumblr blog right now, by going here.
A comparision
Here is Facebook’s new Timeline design:
Here is Facelr, for Tumblr:
You’ll notice that not only are the two similar design wise, the functionality is pretty much the same as well. While I had to do some tweaking and remove the sidebar profile information from my previous Tumblr theme, the install took seconds, and all of my posts were in place.
If you can’t wait for Timeline, you might want to grab the Facelr theme for Tumblr.
Can a company be sued for design infringement? We hope not, because Facelr is pretty well done.

LikeThe layout is nice, but lacking under the hood. The bio section at the top doesn't add much and stays center justified? Not very like FB Timeline. The comment/like/share buttons are just for show? No Disqus integration? Pretty, but needs some work.

LikeDrew Olanoff the only changes I would make is to move the follow + dashboard buttons within the upper header area and possibly a space to add a logo to the left of the header.
