While using Dipity, I chose to create a timeline about what I wish I did over the weekend between the dates of Thursday, April 29th to Sunday, May 2nd. I had a good experience creating a timeline using Dipity. Even though this program looks simple, it took me a little while to learn all the different features it provides. In my fantasy weekend, I flew to Paris and enjoyed dinner and some tourist attractions like the Musée du Louvre and the Notre Dame Cathedral. After that I flew to El Salvador to visit my grandma, we ate, went to the beaches and did some shopping. After El Salvador, I flew back home but drove with friends to Cache Creek Casino where I won lots of money.
There are various fields that can benefit from using Dipity. For example, doctors and nurses in the medical field could use it to keep track of a patient’s health by checking what they eat and what their activities are during the weeks. I think it would also be helpful for any business to use Dipity to keep track of all their appointments. Dipity could also be used for educational purposes by allowing students to organize their weeks in an interactive timeline instead of in a planner. It may also be helpful for the teachers to assign homework and have their students check their timeline daily.
The design of the site is bubbly, but professional looking. When I first went onto the site, it kind of reminded me of the way that Facebook is designed. Overall, I enjoyed using dipity. However, I wish that they would have had the option to change the colors or fonts within the interactive timeline. This design feature would allow people to customize their timelines to personalize it.
