Any feedback on wether making this opensource or on the least sharing the code ? Just starting in a very similar type application.

Making this opensource is a great idea, people can make lots of other mashups. Please consider.

It’s extremely nice, very impressed. Still, how about making that little fella open source - ideally BSD licensed? We’re slowly pushing one out ourselves at http://meadanglobe.googlecode.com … but would switch in a heartbeat if a better solution presented itself. I feel the gold standard has to not just be qualities like runs in a browser, handles tiling, arcball, motion momentum, plots rss and the like ( such as the ones from poly9 and etsy and as well http://del.icio.us/tag/spinny+globe ) but as well triple open: open source, open data, open development. The value to me at least is to ultimately have something that is persistent, durable, trustworthy and reproducible. Regarding BSD licensing - from my point of view source code can be a liability; I don’t want to have the burden of ownership and maintenance so the most free license is what I would recommend.

This application looks and functions a whole lot like Nintendo’s News Channel. If you haven’t seen it yet, it comes packaged with the Wii.

I am on Mac OSX 10.5.2 using Safari 3.0.4 and everything is working just fine, apart from the fact that it’s as though very little happens outside of America. Any chance of other RSS feeds such as a BBC News feed?

It doesn’t seem to be working on the Mac. I have been trying it in the various browsers and all I get is a black screen.

It looks amazing, though i can’t find any news that is going on in England, am i missing something?
i think it’s such a amazing tool, to have it as a background and have it on a setting, like music news in a certain country that would be amazing…

keep up the good work guys,

take care
