Here’s something that may be of interest and useful to your readers, and which I [Tassone] am just now checking out myself. It links R and the Google Visualization API/Google Chart Tools to make Motion Charts (as used in the well known Hans Rosling TED talk) easier to create directly in R.
The website is here, and here‘s a blog about how to use it, including some R code that actually works (if the user has all the requisite libraries, of course) in your own browser.

As children, we Antipodeans called hens eggs “googs”, so it provides very strong image. Ah, the power of visualisation!
