Not only can you make an elegant timeline, but you have the option of adding descriptions, videos, pictures, links and more to each entry. Want to do it as a project with your students? You can share with individuals by invitation or with the world. Now this is social timelining at its ultimate.
How about a timeline of a current event as it occurs? You can plot events through RSS feeds. You can also subscribe to individual accounts and plot your life (or your friends if you have their info.) - It is already setup for Picasa, YouTube, Blogs, and so very much more. What a great tool.
