Hi Bryan,
I don't mean to hijack the thread. I'm really liking the Arras95
project and I think that efforts like this have the potential to
change how we educate in a digital world.
Here's some info on TwHistory:

http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/tag/twhistory/
http://www.futureeducators.org/goteach/2012/01/05/innov8-twitter-history-twistory/
It looks like all the Simile timelines are busted on the site right
now which makes Martin's work even more interesting/pressing.
Thanks,
Justin
