Oh Dipity. I found out that Dipity is a pretty useful and/or fun tool! The only part that made me dislike it was the fact that my internet is slow and the pop ups to edit my entries was a bit of a bore. Like I used the timeline for, it shows that this timeline application can be used for fun and to let other users keep track of how another person is doing in a game. It's quite fun and I bet if someone famous were to use it for their upcoming tour dates and release dates for music or the next event they're attending to, fans could know more of what's going on, yet be a bit stalkerish.
For research papers, knowing when events in time happened can really give an idea to how to help the future or see what went wrong in the past to help make a better future. Timelines can be fun and others can helpful. It all depends on how the user uses it.
For me, the design aspect seemed very simple and it made sense. It was straight to the point and it placed all my events in an organized way. The bubbles went around each other instead of on top of each other, which I was really hoping for. And I really liked how you can look at different views of the timeline. Not only was it a typical timeline, you could look at it like a map or a list.
