This map is from weather.com, specifically from the area code for Fairfax, Virginia (22030). It is an animation that has past data of precipitation and the prediction for future rainfall in 5 minute increments. It can be played frame by frame or in a motion. Specifically the past and future buttons replicate similar actions and abilities to what we are doing in our Lab2.

SB49

From: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-most-tweeted-super-bowl-ever-lit-up-like-christmas-in-one-awesome-map-2015-02-02

This is a live feed of the hashtag SB49 during the game. The spikes occurred during the half-time show and at the end of the game during the Kearse reception and Butler interception. This was interesting because I was on twitter while this happened and twitter went crazy. This map also illustrates the denser population areas of the United States. I think this is really interesting because we can take real time social media hashtags through a trawler and put it into data.
