Do you think this form of interactive timeline could prove useful?

Hello. Single founder here. Developing web-based interactive timeline software. We've just launched a major new way of viewing timelines, and would love some feedback. We've also redesigned our home page: http://www.tiki-toki.com (it was previously just a full-page timeline).

Useful yes (I work with a lot of temporal visualizations) and I would use it but...

Free Version is limited to 1 timeline. You're not going to generate enough engagement/ commitment off of your freemium model especially since it's just a point solution (only one novel type of visual narrative). No one will feel like they need it or are comfortable with it enough to purchase.

My suggestion. Increase freemium to three timelines. 1.Give people a chance to do cool things with it and experiment.. 2. Because the temporal aspect is only a part of a story, I would suggest working on product integration (Powerpoint or one of its alternatives, Prezi etc.) 3. Or an alternative strategy would be to get a few types of clean slick visualations. I could see people paying for a package.

I think it's very nice. I would like to see the ability to integrate it into other projects, to buy it as plugin instead of a monthly subscription service.

I also think you should give more details on how to create and embed a timeline, a video of the proccess would be excelent.

nice job!
