Adobe Zoetrope, a Web Time Machine

Adobe Web Time Machine: In conjunction with the University of Washington, Adobe is moving towards changing the way we interact with the web with Adobe Zoetrope. Instead of a static page, we will be able to scroll through a website and see historical changes. In addition to seeing an entire page as it appeared in an earlier time, we will be able to create “Time Lenses” to note a particular piece of data, let’s say the price of a webcam, and see how that price changes over a period of time. Even better, you can link lenses from different websites and create graphs. This is still very much in the Beta stages, and there will only be certain sites available in the beginning. Zoetrope is recording a thousand sites every hour, and this will be a challenge in the future for it to be robust enough for more than just the casual browser . - Jori Curry
