As you look at an example, consider these questions:
- What draws you into the timeline? What drives you away?
- Can you navigate through the timeline?
- Date structure: how exact are the dates (year, month, day, time)?
- Number of images: are there multiple images for each time marker?
- Are their thumbnails for images in the time markers?
- How is crowding/overlapping handled? Can you zoom in and out?
