OP doesn't add much to the original[1]. They also have a full-sized infographic[2].

Can someone explain to me why Google is formalizing this against Rap Genius?
I really like their n-gram viewer of the New York Times wedding announcements. http://blog.visual.ly/rap-genius-new-project-visualizes-30-years-of-ne…
I would be interested in learning what they have to say about NLP (Natural Language Processing) since they deal with language which is quite vernacular.

d3.js hands down. You absolutely can update in d3 stuff in real time, all you do is create a transition and re-bind the updated data. I've previously built the front end to a trading system that streams events to the browser and updates a d3 visualization over a websocket, and once you get your head around how d3 does things it's the perfect tool for this kind of thing.
Here's a tutorial that looks quite good:

One of the things that bothers me about Visual.ly is its casual conflation of "data visualizations" and "infographics". The two aren't the same thing, yet there's really not a clear distinction in how Visual.ly talks about them.

* edit:
I just signed up and tried to create a data visualization. But it looks like the only thing you can create is to signup through Facebook and then modify an existing infographic template.
