== LineHive.com == | == What is LineHive.com? == | ||
LineHive is two concepts in one: | |||
* Line: the sequences that users around the web deem most useful for any domain, topic, or genre. | |||
* Hive: in the same way that Digg gets interesting content crowdsourced and Google leverages crowdsourced relationships between pages via links, we are leveraging the 'hive mind' to identify the most useful <i>sequences</i> of websites/links. | |||
=== How it works === | |||
Users can define a sequence of websites by pasting URLs into a box, adding a short caption, and pressing 'Create'. Our site parses the sites and gets the title, date, and thumbnail. They are aggregated into a simple timeline visualization. | Users can define a sequence of websites by pasting URLs into a box, adding a short caption, and pressing 'Create'.

Each timeline has a unique URL and can be embedded like a YouTube clip on any page. Clicking on the timeline elements take you to the target page. In this way, paths through the web are crowdsourced. Users can tell short stories to one another and those stories are grounded in web media, don't require writing a bunch of text, and exist for anybody to reference from anywhere. In this process of massive communication, users begin to see the ways in which others search and browse the web. Search literacy grows virally. | Each timeline has a unique URL and can be embedded like a YouTube clip on any page. Clicking on the timeline elements take you to the target page.
