Title: Earthquakes

This was Dylan's idea 6 months ago that I decided to do; I've been working on it for a bit now and I'm looking to get someone else's opinion on it. It currently looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/6SC0acx.png http://i.imgur.com/K7recXE.png

Plugin functionality: Will check a user's query for a possible region, month, and/or year and will display the 3 newest earthquakes matching that query. Shows the time, region, magnitude, and depth of the earthquake alongside a small map with a pin on it.

Plugin API: http://seismi.org/api

Reason for API selection: Dylan had selected this one, it gives you all the information you need, I don't know of any others.

Example queries: "earthquakes"; "earthquakes in april 2013"; "earthquake in may 2012 in mexico"; "earthquakes in japan in march"; "was that an earthquake?" [note: for now it only displays the most recent earthquakes in the world].

Plugin audience: People who like earthquakes? Armchair geologists? Random, curious people?

Cross browser testing: Yes.
