  1. Time Glider

  2. How Time Glider is Cool • You can see all your past timelines. • You can place importance on events. • You can add images to the timeline. • There is no more hand drawing the lines aka the timeline is neat. • You can go back in time as far as you want to.

  3. Comments • Great software! Well done, really, fast and easy! • I love finding things like this on the net... truly brilliant • This is such an elegant thing you've developed..I wondered why I had not seen such a tool before... But..that's usually the hallmark of a great idea -- seems so natural that it should always have been there...

  4. FAQ • How do you create events? Click on "new event"— or double-click anywhere on the timeline "stage" and the date at which the cursor is horizontally aligned is chosen. You can fine-tune the date using an intuitive date chooser. Then type a title and description, choose an icon, and enter a link to a web page/resource if you want.

  5. FAQ (continued) • How do you control size and importance? Timelines that zoom are tricky: If they are dense with events, they stack up and get cluttered. But with TimeGlider, this can be easily managed by assigning an importance level (from 1 to 100) to each event. As one zooms in, certain things can emerge that weren't visible at a wider scope. Changing the importance/size of an event is easy: Click on the icon, and a slider appears that lets you enlarge or shrink the event. Here we can see that, even though Paul Revere's Ride was important, it's better to have it take up less room as one zooms out.

  6. FAQ (continued) How do you share and embed your timeline? Once you build a timeline, you might want to share it. Once you choose to make a timeline accessible to the public, a URL and a piece of HTML will be available at which to share your timeline. The public cannot simply browse to your timeline: Having a highly unique URL, your timeline can be shared with only the people you want to.

  7. FAQ (continued) How do visitors see your timeline? When your friends or family or the public views a timeline you've created, of course, they can't edit it. They'll first be met with an introduction you've written, and placed at a date (called the "focus date") that you've chosen as a starting point. Double-clicking any event brings up a simple information box (pictured at right).
