I tried to post this in the thread for timeline brainstorming, but it closed as I was writing it. Thought I'd post it here then. Thanks. . .
Post #129 by Marsha in the Cell Phone and Ping Info #2 thread (
http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72435&page=6) was very helpful to me to really get a feel for Casey's movements and activities for the time period presented. I found myself thinking. . . where did she go next? were there any myspace posts? what was the content of the text messages? In other words, it gave me a good look, but I wanted more of the same. . . for every day in question
I like the idea of it almost being like looking at a page in a day planner - but a super organized, hyperlinked one. For each time slot (1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute increments?) key data would be displayed (exact time, identifying activity, i.e. "myspace entry" or "text to AH", ping location. The key data could be hyperlinked to the details, i.e. the actual content of the test message/eyewitness report from interview/etc. This quick glance (with details hyperlinked), along with the corresponding map of the day, would really help "see" how the days unfolded.
I'm a visual person, though. I understand others might prefer more detail upfront. I'm a really good lurker
