Nick Rabinowitz, a Grad student at UC Berkeley School of Information, posted an interesting announcement on the Google Geo Developer blog this morning. Google TimeMap is a Javascript API for working with geo-temporal data.  It combines Google Maps with the excellent SIMILE Timeline and wraps them into a single API. The library supports both JSON and KML data.
