This slick little project baked at MIT yields a really robust interactive timeline via AJAX. A demo for the timeline can be found here. As you can see it allows for multiple points within the timeline with pop-up tool tips that give more information about each point. By using your scroll wheel on your mouse you can scroll back and forth through the timeline.
They’re are easy to follow tutorials on how to install the widget, so installation should be easy. The getting started tutorial is very easy to understand. It gives examples on how to connect to the API and shows you how to get your own timeline up and running in no time. Their are more advanced tutorials what will show you how to change the look and behavior of the timeline.
Google AJAX Feed API
Category: Ajax Frameworks, Ajax Resources | Leave a Comment
A great way to put Ajax feeds on your website without even needing to write any code. Google has created a tool that will write the code for you. You can make the feeds appear vertical, horizontal, or vertical stacked. The only issue that I have found is that it has a problem picking up the feeds from digg. All other sites seem to work fine. It keeps bringing up a wikipedia feed when I try to use digg. Other than that one issue, it seems to work without any problems. Like all the Google API’s, it is free to use and works very well.
