Agreed - a lovely thing.
So... hmn. What about plotting news publication times
against a similar timeline? Or...um, crikey, OK - Celebdaq prices graphed
over time against mentions in news stories on bbc.co.uk? Or... blog/search
activity around a programme name (publication times?) against instances of the
programme on telly/radio? (I'm also wondering if you could plot a timeline
of events in the Dr Who universe in a similar way, but I doubt the format would
cope with temporal paradoxes...)
I'm doing an idle bit of thinking about timelines and
chronologically sequenced information at the moment (and how 'time' might sit as
a persistent context to the bbc site) so I'm really interested in SIMILE
Timeline. Does anyone know of any other time period / sequencing tools or
mashups?
I've also got an interesting bit of thinking I'd like to
chuck out to the list for discussion about the future of the BBC on them thar
internets, but I'll put that under a seperate email later
today.
