This visualisation grabs the titles of the latest articles in the Guardian's Global Development section via the Guardian's Content API. It also makes use of Tom MacWright's D3 JSONP plugin.
I started with reference to Mike Bostock's General Update Pattern in D3. I accomplished a similar effect in a different way by using setInterval() to remove the SVG text from the DOM and call a draw() function.
