Whats are some real time data sources?

I'm working on a demo on real-time visualization and I'm trying to think out of the box. Looks like any big data real-time demo is on twitter or traffic data. Are there any other options out there that publish real-time data (for free)?

Thanks

Just some thoughts:

Environmental Datasets

As stated by the other comment, have a look to weather, forecast (or similar services).

Space data

What about data from the Universe?

Flights

Here's some real time flight tracking data: the evaluation plan is limited but free.

Social Networks

Twitter Streaming API, Facebook RealTime Updates API (in case you hyave already an app on the social Network), Foursquare

Energy production

Various energy production (real-time and quasi real-time) data.
On these ones probably you have to fiddle around the pages to track the sources of the data, sorry.

Website traffic

Google Analytics RealTime API (for your registered websites)

Money

Bitcoin transactions, Stock Market API

More?

And here and here an "not-so-updated" list of other Real-Time API services (some free, some others not).
