Detailed Description

The internet users are mainly consumers of articles and information. There are very few who are the generators of information. The timeline tool is a web based research tool that assists in gathering and visualising historical data. It encourages and helps users generate content on the internet with more ease along with archiving data found on the internet. It also help the user compare existing articles and come up with new ones based on some observation, pattern and analysis. This project requires building the right architecture and interface of this tool with good user experience. The interface should help the user filter and go through the information saved in the data base easily. The experience of creating content should be really comfortable and encouraging. It is important to study the existing tools (Pinterest, Pocket, Clipboard etc.) That help in saving or bookmarking information. Building such a tool involves understanding the process of collecting data for research purpose. The Physical Mobile Computing timeline created by brand studio should be used to understand collection and categorisation of articles as well as building stories. The goal of the project is to make the experience of collecting and creating information on the internet, along with collaborating with team on projects easy for researchers, professionals and students.
