Timezpot, Inc. is passionate about creating the world's most powerful tools for capturing, preserving, and sharing history; this includes their primary product, Zpotten, which is an interactive journal allowing users to build, preserve, and share living timelines of places and things that are important to them.

Zpotten is a platform that allows people to create a visual storyboard of events, specifying date, time and location, using a global map, and defining how they are connected to them through a detailed user-friendly time control system. With Zpotten, users don't simply "check in" to places… users preserve details about the meaningful events, in exact geo-mapped locations, down to the second they are happening.

Zpotten is a visual way of creating, connecting, sharing, and managing important events along with the exact locations of those events.
