Dipity search and visualisation
Posted by: ashleytan on: June 15, 2009
Dipity is a tool that could be very useful in education. I did a search on A(H1N1) and this is what I got. It’s an interactive timeline comprising of various resources from the WWW!
Dipity helps make temporal and visual sense of searches. This organises the plethora of information that typically results from a Web search and makes it easier to manage. Better still, the information can be reorganised into a list, flipbook or a map to suit the needs of the searcher!
I wonder if Google might acquire Dipity some day…

Dipity and Lifeblob are great tools. So is LifeSnapz, http://www.lifesnapz.com, if you desire a more private way to capture, share and explore your life events with friends and family. Timelines and maps provide fun way to explore events and create an ongoing life record.

I would also recommend looking at http://www.lifeblob.com for social timelines, where you can add people to your timeline posts and have the posts come up on their timelines too.
So if you go out on a trip with your friends, you can now simply upload your photos, add their names and the trip post becomes a part of their timelines too. There are over 300,000 existing timeline that you can join – check this for a sample: http://www.lifeblob.com/topic/zoozoo
