Open BBC

backstage.bbc.co.uk invites web developers to appropriate BBC content fed through RSS and come up with innovative news presentations.

Well,  news quickly got in bed with maps, specifically the Google maps, and now they're spawning (like so). The crop of map hacks now allows sports fans to get local headlines for teams they follow, access traffic jam cams, get news by county, and much more. See backstage news, o'reilly and smartmobs.
