(MapD creator again) - Also, check out http://worldmap.harvard.edu/tweetmap http://worldmap.harvard.edu/tweetmap for a live demo - even though its been a bit buggy under Slashdot load and I had to disable GetFeatureInfo requests (i.e. click to get tweet). Also see here for a demo of a new interface I'm messing with that does animation - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Foo8pYbSPv4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Foo8pYbSPv4 .

And roughly half an hour ago, I was hoping for something that could help me map GIS data and animate the changes over time so that I could see before and after effects. Look forward to seeing this released.

  Is your data relational? I can import anything from Postgres, MySQL, Solr (but has to be flattened), or shapefiles. If you tell me more perhaps I could put it into the system for you and we could try it out.

    Its company data, so I use that greatest of all databases: Excel. I'll have to think/work on this a bit - my test sets are clean but not massive enough yet for animation, while my data source is messy messy data. Do note I'm not in the states - I'm new to this, but my experience so for has been that getting usable geolocation data for the region I am looking at is not easy. (Incidentally, having some contact info on your profile page would make it a little easier for anyone who wanted to get in touch with you)

    Hi Todd! Do you have an email? (mine is sergio.correia@duke.edu ) I'm working on a project linking bank credit with the geographic distance between individuals/firms and bank branches. It's a fairly big dataset (~4MM geocoded individuals with matched credit data) and MapD would seem like a cool tool to visualize how the data changes with time. Cheers
