What’s Jiggle? It’s that little bit of gravy that makes your app go from functional to fun (think Treo v. iPhone). As part of our “hack day” competition/celebration, Ben got jiggly with it, and won himself the gold.

Our timelines now bounce, fade, fly in, slow with friction, speed up with a harder throw… it’s almost like they’re real.

It’s a subtle change for some, but totally fun and a great new usabilty standard for all of us. Start using your favorite timeline and you’ll notice, or if you don’t have one, check out mine.

After TimeTube’s resounding success, we decided to show that it’s not just videos that can be organized and displayed in a more interesting way. Next up were photos, so naturally: Time + Flickr = Tickr!

The images themselves are really stunning (thanks Flickr users!), but it’s also a really neat way to explore a topic (or your own Flickr account).

Seeing is believing, so try some searches and have some fun.

Some that caught our eye were:

• Burning Man: Artists really know how to make things look amazing :). Get a recap of the best from each of the last few years.
• September 11th: This one is sad and heart-warming at once. You can see the the old New York skyline, the day-of from around the city, and then the memorials shine into the sky.
• Northern Lights: Experience the phenomenon as seen from around the world, and as it changes year to year.

Hope you’ll try it out, and remember to write in with your thoughts and favorite searches!
