Time animations can be fun, but never seem to me as useful in the end as ways of including time as a dimension, the slider, the timeline, or the timesection (time along one axis, an aggregate spatial dimension such as a path or list of places along the other.).

Hmm... chronobopping?

Thanks - I really like the example with the Ushahidi data. The Post's TimeSpace has some great functionality, but seems a bit overwhelming visually. The more we look at temporal aspects - seems there are almost as many dimensions as spatial. May have to look into temporal wanking. Does not really roll of the tongue like Geowanking though.

Hey Sean-- Really cool, I like cabspotting alot.

2 other links that aren't quite animation but are temporal visualizations:
TimeMap:

TimeSpace:  http://specials.washingtonpost.com/timespace/election/

Time..the next dimension in mapping :)

Hi -

I was doing a bit of work to try and catalog the best temporal animation approaches for interactive maps. I'm sure there is lots of stuff I'm missing and thought folks might have some suggestions or personal favorites:

To get it started a few of my own:

http://cabspotting.org/
http://www.bbc.co.uk/britainfromabove/stories/wild-britain/migratingbirds.shtml (2:30 on th3e video)
http://hindsight.trulia.com/map/
http://projects.flowingdata.com/walmart/
http://www.obleek.com/iraq/
http://homeless.cartifact.com/

Happy to aggregate and post back to the list with the final catalog.

Many Thanks,
sean
