New York Times Leads Investors in History Project

VentureBeat: The History Project, a platform for building embeddable multimedia timelines, lets users create their own timelines to be shared publicly, with a small group, or not at all. The History Project feels like the next generation of social media: a place where people can chronicle their experiences from childhood to retirement without ever jotting down a word. No surprise then, that the New York Times was the lead investor in The History Project’s first round of funding.
