GMapper
This is the coolest thing I've seen for a while: GMapper is a simple Python/GTK+ interface to the Expedia map server.
If Microsoft want to show that web services enable cool novel applications they should point to this. Expedia and GMapper share no code, no authors, are written in different programming languages (or so I assume) and run on different operating systems, located on different continents. You'd normally expect it to be very hard to interface them, not an afternoon's hack. But here through the magic of HTTP we have something far better than either developer could achieve along.
