With one of the jQuery timeline plugins listed here, you can add cool and interactive timelines to your web pages.
The timeline format is not new, but really, it got popular when Facebook decided to add it to their wall design. It is a great way to show events in time – this can be anything from social media updates to historical events. We also see the timeline design used in creative portfolios.
