Google Timeline

Posted by Surrural Librarian on May 20 2007 | Internet, Search

Here’s a tool that will certainly come in handy at school. Brings back memories of sitting on the floor with large strips of construction paper scotch-taped together, World Book encyclopedias scattered around.

Still in the Google Labs,  the Timeline Search:

With the timeline and map views, Google’s technology extracts key dates and locations from select search results so you can view the information in a different dimension.

Keep the kids on their toes, though, otherwise they just might think Theo Epstein worked for the Sox in 1918.
