Site-Hype

Just a few days ago Google released a new way to surf the web using a timeline as the key point.

Google News Timeline allows you to get an historical dimension on your search results. You can search in data sources like news, scanned newspapers and magazines, blog posts, sport scores and media like music and movies.

You can navigate through a smooth timeline. Just drag the timeline forward or backward through time to show the matching results. There is a zoom possibility as well just in case you want a better overview than on a per day basis.

This is an interesting view over the ever increasing amount of information available to us. I am sure many are interested in seeing how their topics have evolved over time. Just for fun, surf the timeline for your country or for your president or your favorite team. I ended up spending 30 minutes on the buildings of New York.

Already Google seem to have lots of content available in Timeline but they need to make it a bit easier to navigate. As always I am curios about how this line of thinking can be incorporated into google maps or other google services but foremost how they will monetize it, anybody have an idea?
