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.

Thanks for the useful feedback. Just to clarify. The banded timeline is a new way of showing timelines with our software. We also have a standard way ofshowing timelines, an example being: http://www.tiki-toki.com/timeline/entry/43/Beautiful-web-based-timeline-software/ http://www.tiki-toki.com/timeline/entry/43/Beautiful-web-bas... And we're also working on a Gantt chart style visualisation, which might fit in with your suggestion 3. Not sure about integration with PowerPoint and Prezi. Don't get me wrong. It is a great idea. But our timeliness are in HTML/CSS and JS, so am not sure how easy (or even possible) it would be to integrate with them. Maybe I am being a bit mean with the number of timelines in the free account but I worry that if I give the free accounts too much, no-one will upgrade. Anyway, you have given me food for thought. Thanks!
