There are a bewildering array of possibillites for geospatial data handling. In fact, you could use Google Earth for this. Google earth has timeline in-built and masses of functionality. It is no longer stand-alone and is easily integrated in web.

Here is a long list of geospatial tools.

gephi

Gephi in itself is a network visualisation tool, but there are loads of plugins, also for geospatial.

Gapminder See this
phenomenal TED presentation by Hans Rosling - love that guy

Gapminder was mentioned above, but could easily be mentioned again :)

Google charts

Google charts can handle big data, but you have to check the limitations and wether you would have to pay for a big-data account.

somvis

A pretty tool on data mining large datasets.

Raphaël

Also mentioned above. To my knowledge, Raphael has some limitations as to really big data.

MIT Exhibit (previously called Similie)

Been a while since I played with Similie, but recall that they have capacity for big data. The visuals might not be the most stylish, but that you could do yourself.

d3

One of the good-old-ones, highly adaptable javascript.

Highcharts

Very professional and versatile (I love that they link directly to jsfiddle for their charts). You can pay for the high end solutions, and that should easily handle big, live data.
