BeeDocs’ Timeline: Better Than Anything I Made in 8th Grade

This is a timeline of all the places I’ve lived in my life that I made in about 3 minutes using a beta version of Bee Documents’ Timeline application for Mac that you can download. It’s a program that just does one thing: makes really nice-looking timelines. I wish there had been something that was this easy to use and created timelines this nice when I was in 8th grade doing class projects.

This program makes me think that timelines should just be one of the standard building blocks for creating documents. Microsoft Word should have had something like this ages ago. Not only that, but it would be a good candidate for an Ajax web application that would let you make, save, and share timelines on the web. Milestone modules in portals and project-tracking websites could be replaced by and edited as online timelines/gantt charts.
