AllOfMe.com
AllOfMe.com is a Web 2.0 tool that allows people to create interactive timelines. The site was designed with users' personal histories in mind; to that end, the site can access Facebook and Twitter accounts as well as photo-sharing sites like Flickr. However, the site also shows great promise as an instructional aid, or as a medium for a social studies or history project.  Users can link or upload many forms of information to their timelines, including:


 * pictures
 * webpages
 * YouTube videos
 * Microsoft Office documents

AllOfMe lets you embed your timelin es in other sites. Here is a sample timeline I made chronicling the life of a great American:

media type="custom" key="6605809"

The ability to embed is convenient, but the embedded display is limited. To view the timeline onsite, click here. Hint: zoom out to the century level to make navigation easier.
