Cool Tools: Make a YouTube Timeline
Check out TimeTube, a mashup from San Francisco startup Dipity, which makes an interactive timeline out of any YouTube keyword. Videos are embedded directly into the timeline on the dates they were added. I’m a little unclear on what garners more emphasis within the timeline– it doesn’t appear to be number of views. Anyways, then you can grab whatever you make and embed it directly in your blog.
Would have been great to have this for our Rickroll timeline last month!

Marshall, sorry you were having problems, we’ve added more servers and it should be golden now.

This looks like a specialized version of xtimeline, which lets you import all sorts of files and provide additional information about the file on the timeine. So there are several ways xtimeline is different. But the interface for moving through the timeline looks like the interface for xtimeline.

[...] NewTeeVee have a post on a great mashup idea from Dipity. Adding the element of time into navigation, not just sorting results by date but displaying them on an actual timeline that the user controls. The timeline has a cognitive model we all understand very easily. [...]
