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:

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?

A comment on the idea "Different editor/source = different color" in Dipity:

Definitely agree. With 2 and up to 5 or even 10 sources, different colors are the best way to identify them with a glance. – lucas, on September 18, 2008 17:51

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.

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,
BK

Same problem for me! I signed up for Dipity on 9/5. Added my feeds, and it found everything just fine. My timeline has not updated since I signed up. In fact, my last update was the fact that I had signed up for Dipity. What gives? Help!

None of my feeds are updating I have put so much work into my projects I really disppointed. Including Twitter FEEDS RSS FEEDS there not updating daily weekly nothing.. This seems like you have known about this issue for awhile and not made people aware of it before they invest time into your product.

Only my Twitter feed seems to be updating. Nothing else I post is showing up.
I also added all my Twitter contacts, and none of them are updating either.

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?
:-)

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

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!

All my sources are RSS only and they do not update.

For me, no sources seem to update automatically either. Twitter and Wordpress blogs have had updates over the last few days. I just posted a pic to Flickr to test it out. I'm thinking about adding my Wordpress as an "RSS" source instead of a "Wordpress" one to see if that makes any difference. It just doesn't seem like things are working right.

I have two timelines that have not been updated since I made them, even though the blogs and twitter sources have been updated several times. Anyone from Dipity able to comment? Hello?

Joe replied on July 23, 2008 22:24 to the question "Are sources supposed to update automatically?" in Dipity:

According to this support page: (http://getsatisfaction.com/dipity/top...) the feed should be updated hourly. Unfortunately, I just timed an update I just made, and its been 2 hours now and nothing has been updated in dipity.
