The basic idea behind server software:
Something that continually rednet.broadcast(data)
Perhaps an advertisement (Hi-jack someone's network with spam :3)
Something like that.
Any good Ideas?
Mine so far:
1. Minepedia
2. IM
3. Turtle Net
4. Advertisement
Also, they have to have some sort of commands, usually on/off or switching messages or something.
Some of them have interactivity so that the user can request specific pieces of data.
Any thoughts of them?

public broadcasting of ASCII art tv programs would make a good #5 for this list
the problem is so much of this stuff can already be done with server plugins or by tabbing out why would any one want to sit in front of a virtual computer?

I've been working on a small system for email and news feeds using server computers to store the email. Far from finished but might help fill in the gap a little bit. IM on my current system wouldn't be easily done unfortuneately (the system doesn't like multiple connections too much, has a workaround that enables it to be fine for news and emails but not so good for IM).
It does currently work by requesting specific bits of data like you mention.
I've been busy playing on the 1.2 update so I haven't worked on it much recently but I'll post more info when I've done some more work on it.
