Document History
TimelineJS can pull in media from different sources. It has built in support for:
Twitter,
Flickr,
Google Maps,
YouTube,
Vimeo,
Dailymotion,
Wikipedia,
SoundCloud
and more media types in the future.
Creating one is as easy as filling in a Google spreadsheet or as detailed as JSON.
Tips and tricks to best utilize TimelineJS.
Keep it short, and write each event as a part of a larger narrative.
Pick stories that have a strong chronological narrative. It does not work well for stories that need to jump around in the timeline.
Include events that build up to major occurrences. Not just the major events.

Solving the Pie Chris Gemignani December 14, 2006 By: Chris Gemignani Last week I challenged you to reproduce this alternative to pie charts in Excel. I promised a screencast to show how it's done. http://juiceanalytics.com/writing/2006/12/square-pie-screencast/ Square Pie Eighteen people answered the call with nearly three dozen different solutions. Click here to watch the screencast showing how to accomplish the two most popular solutions; filling cells with conditional formatting and pushing the column chart to extremes. If you want to look at the source,Clint Ivy produced an excellent version of the cell filling approach.
