1. A method of facilitating date selection by a user, comprising: presenting the user with a single timeline band; causing the band to change granularity of date increments in response to the user zooming in and zooming out on the band; causing the band to present different dates based on band positioning initiated by the user by providing a stationary indicator that indicates different dates as the band scrolls past the indicator based on a position of the indicator and dates on the band relative to the stationary indicator; displaying a moveable indicator that indicates a group of dates before or after a date that is presented on the band to the user according to the stationary indicator, wherein the movable indicator merges with the stationary indicator and a new moveable indicator appears in response to the band positioning initiated by the user; and allowing selection by the user of the date that is presented on the band to the user.
