Agro the Aggregator now includes information from Findory, and it will display relevant satellite pictures
for a limited number of cities thanks to Google's new Maps API.

The Findory supports works in a similar way to the previous Yahoo news support (extract keywords and pass them
to the Findory API), but the Google API is somewhat different.

Currently it's quite limited: it scans through a list of known city names, and then allows the user
to display the satellite pictures from the first one found (even if other locations are also mentioned in the item).

For instance, this post will be aggregated via the JavaBlogs
and PlanetApache aggregator views, and will
(hopefully) allow you to see a photo of Aberdeen, despite support for the following cities:

• Aberdeen
• Adelaide
• Albuquerque
• Algiers
• Amarillo
• Amsterdam
• Anchorage
• Ankara
• Asuncion
• Athens
• Atlanta
• Auckland
• Austin
• Baghdad
• Gaza
• London
• Madrid
• Moscow
• Seattle
• Washington

Generally speaking, looking at the BBC Feed will should find you something that talks about one of these cities.

It's still Firefox only, though!

Another nice project would be to reverse the UI on this: Display a map of the world, with the location sensitive headlines displayed at the
correct location. I'm sure fame (if not fortune) awaits the first to implement that one…
