The comment about world events not being what matter in our lives is accurate (world events don't generally happen to us personally-fortunately) but it got me thinking, it might be nice to see some of these done for historical figures, who were integral in those events happening. I mean showing what people were part of in that week of their life, as opposed to things that happened in that week of _your_ life.
For example, Anne Boleyn - born 1501 _or_ 1507 (the earlier date is more accepted), died 1536; Henry VIII first married in 1509 when Anne was just a small child; her first promise of marriage post 1515 was to avert a civil war in Ireland, and Henry meeting her in 1526 led to the creation of the Church of England, her marriage, and then of course, her own execution. She had a full diary. Or on a lighter note, Mozart, who possibly died at the same age, had a life full of compositions and courts.
Those (and many others) would be interesting in their own right, or as timeline comparisons for people who use the site.
