http://nobelprize.org/peace/educational/conflictmap/conflictmap.html is 
a map hosted by the Nobel Prize organization, showing world conflicts 
throughout the 20th century, referenced by location and time.

http://www.otherthings.com/grafarc/flash/view.htm is a photographic 
historical record of frequently-modified San Francisco graffiti. 
Photographs of various walls are overlaid, compressing changes over 
time into synchronized layers. Geographical information is 
intentionally omitted, to avoid heightened security monitoring of 
popular spots.

http://clients.stamen.com/moveon_screenshots/ shows a static record of 
a national town hall held by MoveOn in June. We built the map interface 
that was used to mediate interaction between geographically-distributed 
participants.
