Most things you can imagine doing have already been done. The key to being a super programmer is to use whats already there. Take google maps as an example; your provided with the map, Satellite image and the API to use them. They even show you how to embed the maps into your web site. All you need to do is provide the idea and the data. Lets take an anti-war type website. If you had the information available you could easily plot all the points where people were killed. You could use different colors for Civilian v's Military deaths... etc etc etc. Presenting information in this way has a much more powerfull impact than a text based RSS article. One of the biggest problems is access to the raw information. Not just as a one off import from an excel file, but a constant reliable supply of data that you can integrate into an automated process. Super programmer?.... forget it, there's billions of them in India & china. Focus on super design & super architecture... but thats just my 2c worth. Cheers
