I’ve had the idea for 4 or 5 years to create a time line project<\/strong>– similar to Facebook’s time line by utilizing all the data I’ve accumulated about myself and my life over the years. It wouldn’t necessarily be a public article and not constructed off the back of Facebook’s selective data mining. It would effectively be an image of my life and existence to demonstrate to myself and potentially others how I’ve lived, what I’ve done, who I am.<\/p>\n

I thought it was pretty coincidental that Microsoft are apparently now interested<\/a> in developing an automated time line project.<\/p>\n

Whereas a one-time fee of say $50 would be much more in line for a piece of software like this. In fact I discovered there is a Desktop version<\/a> of the software for $24.99. The only trouble is, it doesn’t allow times lines to be displayed or exported to the web. Frustrating to find a perfect solution with totally unreasonable and affordable costs.<\/p>\n

    Dipity<\/a> Seemed Ok at first glance until I realized a subscription was required to input over 150 Events. And like with Tiki Toki, you then have to pay extra to remove ads.<\/p>\n

    The aim would be to include:<\/p>\n
