Hello SIMILE Developers,
I hope you do not mind this blatant ad on the mailing list, but if
anyone is interested in timelines, it is the people on this list!
I would like to announce to you a web application that we have been
developing called Timefo:
http://timefo.com/tour
Timefo stands for "time formation" -- the formation of events over
time, i.e., a timeline. Timefo lets you develop your own timelines
via an easy-to-use web interface. You can create up to 30 timelines,
add up to 2000 events and 25 labels, plot events on a Google map, and
much more coming soon.
We are planning to add the ability to "feed" your timeline with RSS
and other sources (like a Google Spreadsheet). Before we do that,
however, we want to get the basic functionality right, and to prove
that, we need some users. We know that you are developers who are
working on your own timeline projects, but if you have time or are
interested, we'd love for you to sign up and give Timefo a whirl!
The home page of Timefo still says, "Coming Soon" as is really only a
private beta (we are calling it alpha) at this point. However, if you
follow the link above, it will get you to the application so that you
can see how it works, and of course sign up if you want. If you find
it interesting, please do not post a link to Digg or Reddit or
anywhere else as we are not ready for that yet. (We can only hope you
like the site that much! :-))
We also have a blog, which itself is a timeline:
http://timefo.com/timelines/timefo/22
Also, we'd like to give a huge Thank You to David Huynh for creating
this fabulous API, and for all of his help when we had questions.
Honestly, Timeline is a pretty amazing piece of software.
Thanks!

P.S. Timefo currently works best with the Firefox family of browsers
(Firefox, Camino, Flock, etc.). We have done brief testing with IE 7
and what we tested works ok, but we can't guarantee much. If you want
to use IE, please do so and let us know what doesn't work! Also,
Safari 3 works great except for the search on the timeline itself.
