Timeline 

I’ve been playing with a delightful timeline creator developed by Zach Wise, a multimedia producer and Associate Professor at Northwestern University’s Medill School.

Called Timeline, the open source software was created as a project within the Knight News Innovation Lab, has support for media types such as Twitter posts, photos from Flickr, video from YouTube and Vimeo, audio from SoundCloud and Google map embeds.

Timeline creators use JSON for authoring or — and this is very clever — enter data into a Google spreadsheet and Timeline will pull it from there. On Twitter, Wise suggests a Timeline plugin for WordPress is coming soon. — Michael
