flickr clock
I love the horizontal timeline below the image slices and I think the general browsing experience is well done. Its always an interesting challenge lining up events horizontally on one level. For example, when browsing through this clock, I first encounter a clip from the San Francisco Pillow Fight. However, when I click on the <next> arrow I am shown a cat sitting by a windowsill. All these events happen at the same time, and are as important for the person who placed them on the clock.

Applications like these make me wonder how we will be consuming news in the future. Will we have a super-set of timelines streaming real-time video people are taking from events around the world? How easy will it be to switch from my personal channel (i.e. my cat on the windowsill) to my relevant events (for example places I’ve been to, people I follow or more general newsworthy events).
