Very impressive! Good job Matt. I attempted playing around with a scrollable weather map powered by rss feeds but it never got off the ground - nice to see somebody has got something involving satellite imagery and RSS working!

That being said, here is a screen shot of a prototype I am working on which mixes a lot of geo data, including geotagged bbc news. The pins indicate the location and volume of news articles. The red arcs indicate the relationships between locations as judged by mentions in the same article. The areas of the map that look a little different from the rest (e.g. UK) are areas where landsat imagery has been downloaded and added to the picture. The application, which I hope to get up as soon as some support components are in place, is fully interactive, including animated movement to locations, zooming, pulling in geographic boundary data, such as countries, states, counties, etc. The architecture allows for arbitrary 'data services' to be plugged in (e.g. weather rss, traffic, etc.) Matt
