Timelines that are Easy to Make and Use by Nathan Yau.
From the post:
As a project of the Knight News Innovation Lab, Timeline by Verite is an open source project that lets you make and share interactive timelines. It’s simple and customizable. Plug in your own data as JSON, or use the Google Docs template for an even faster route, and you’re good to embed. It’s also easy to grab source material from sites like Vimeo, YouTube, and Flickr. Score.
Makes me think of location information that is embedded in digital media as well. Which you could combine with a timeline display. Or with other information that is publicly available. Or should I say accessible? Not exactly the same thing.
