In principle every section of every BBC Where I Live site (specifically the England ones) could output an rss feed.

With masses of content on everything from faith events to band profiles would it be possible to combine this with geo positioning to create some kind of rich app giving you information on all sorts of things happening in your location on a map?

Or something along those lines?

Forgot to add (and improved on the idea within seconds of clicking submit).

I mentioned band profiles - one of the biggest parts of a Where I Live site is the Unsigned Band section.

If you could take an RSS feed of the band profiles, the gig reviews and gig previews you could create a really sexy rich app that takes a google map, overlays it with flickr images, the data from the unsigned bands section on the Where I Live site and info on gigs in the area from sites like Radio 1, 6music and other music services - could even take in audio clips of gigs recorded by radio one or the local station.
