On her interesting blog "Free and Open Source GIS Ramblings", Anita Graser, self-professed open source GIS and data visualization geek, shows how she created Space-time cubes for exploring the spatial dimension of Twitter streams.

The interesting thing is that she uses pyprocessing, a Python port of the processing environment. PyProcessing seems to be pretty powerful, because the pyprocessing backend is built upon OpenGL and Pyglet, which provide the actual graphics rendering. Since these are multiplatform, so is pyprocessing.
