TimetoastThis interactive timeline creator allows for easily and quickly adding events with text and images.
Points to Consider- Must include specific dates (not just years)
- Color scheme is not editable
- No way to title the timeline
- Can't paste text into the text box using keyboard shortcuts- must right-click, paste
- No audio or video
- Others cannot contribute to timeline
- Timeline is public only
- Can add links
XTimelineThis timeline generator allows for interactive multimedia timelines. Unlike other timelines, these can be edited by others with the correct permissions.
Points to Consider
- Can upload or embed images
- Can embed videos (must be hosted elsewhere)
- Timeline contains a description page
- Can be collaborative
- Ad-supported
- Navigating the timeline can get a user side-tracked
- Images don't scale down well
- Each event provides a link to a detail page
- Appearance cannot be easily controlled
- Cannot add links to the text of the timeline entries
LifehapsThis interactive timeline generator is truly built for autobiographical/biographical information. Users create timelines by adding different pre-defined and only somewhat editable events (ex: birth must be the first entry). With each event, you can add images, links, and descriptions. This may be better suited for personal use- or limited use for autobiographical projects.
After creating the first event, you must register (free) to save the event and add a new one. An email address is required for registration but a verification email is not used.
The timeline has no ability to be embedded into blogs/wikis so it can only be shared by links via email. For this reason, it is somewhat limited. (That's why you don't see one here)
CircavieAOL has discontinued support for their timeline generator, Circavie. It will be removed from this wiki in a few weeks!
