Build time lines easily with xtimeline

Create time lines easily with xtimeline, a handy web tool that creates time lines. Easily. Time lines. Hence the name “xtimeline.”
To start putting a time line together, you just enter an event, the date it occurred, plus a description and images. There’s really not much to it, folks. xtimline puts it all together in a logical, easy-to-read order.
A history class is the most obvious application for xtimeline, but you could use it for a variety of subjects. It’s an ideal companion for research papers, or reports on anything from the life of Mark Twain to the history of the computer.
xtimeline doesn’t look as slick as Mnemograph (now called TimeGlider), but its usability makes it a great choice unless you need a really fancy-schmancy printable time line for some reason. Hey, I’ve cobbled time lines together in Word and Excel, and I assure you that if you just need a quick time line that looks presentable, xtimeline is a much better way to go.
