How about creating a global Relay mashup using Google, Yahoo or Microsoft Live Local maps? It would be stimulating to see a map that pinpoints the Relays going on around the country with some infomation about them. Even more interesting would be a global map with Relays from Canada and other countries. It might also be a way of involving Relayers from other countries in this site. Here's some links to such material:

How about a list of upcoming Relays so we could share the tension and excitement of immediate events and anticipate some reports by members about how it went?

How about adding the cancer news and ACS news content from our extranet?

Google Mashup

Good News! We have already started a Relay For Life Google Map project that will feed our real time Relay location database (COE) via web services into the Google Map API allowing for automatic updating of Relays around the world!

Here is an example of our first pilot using Strides:
