Different editor/source = different color
Here is an idea:
It would be nice if each editor would have a separate color so that we can differentiate who posted what from the color. Also, I guess a different color for each source would be nice too. Or maybe, instead of color, having the name of the person or the source next to the titlel.
Thank you!

I’m excited

Inappropriate?Hi Celine, this is a great idea. We'll be looking at some changes to help identify different editors over the next couple of weeks.
Thanks!
I’m greatful for the great idea.

Inappropriate?just sent this to the dipity team through their feedback form:
when i add sources to a topic i created, i would like to be able to setup a different color for each one.
for example, on this topic:
http://www.dipity.com/user/lucas/time...
there are two sources (a RSS feed and a twitter feed).
i would like, as the owner of the topic, to be able to set the RSS feed to appear with a blue background on the timeline, and set the twitter feed to appear in, say, green or red or whatever other color...
has this been implemented already?
if not, is in the roadmap?
thanks -
Inappropriate?also, BK said that it would be looked at (and implemented?) "in the next two weeks", but his feedback is a month old... any news about this?

Inappropriate?Hi guys, we did evaluate doing different colors per source but decided to do things a little differently. In our new Dipity 2.0 product we're going to have flags represent the type of sources instead of the editors.
With some timelines there are dozens or even hundreds of editors. We felt that it was most important to show the contents and content types first, and show the editors once you clicked on the event.
If we get a little more information on why you're trying to set apart events from different editors we may be able to come up with a better solution.
Thanks,

Inappropriate?Mostly what I focus on are timelines that pertain to a PR crisis. There's often he/she said. I agree, for hundreds of sources it wouldn't make sense, but when you've only got a few, the color becomes an important indicator in the UI of the source.

Definitely agree. With 2 and up to 5 or even 10 sources, different colors are the best way to identify them with a glance. -
Inappropriate?That's a good point Shabbir. The he/she said case is interesting, we'll keep thinking of ideas to make this better. Do you have a link to a "he/she said" type timeline for us to take a look at?

Inappropriate?Typically I cover two sides of a pr crisis and then media coverage. In most of my examples I would use three, maybe four colors max. Protagonist, Critic, and Media. Maybe I would segregate media into two colors online vs msm), maybe not. Here's some examples that I've embedded into my columns at prnewsonline.com:
