I'd say you're on to something here.

Google makes tons and tons of money from advertising and people like Rob (and me too - I hate ads as much as anybody) don't mind the advertising that is literally plastered all over their site. They don't mind for two reasons - One, it's not advertising it's "search results". I would say there is a large number of people who don't even know the difference between the ads and the search results. Two, people don't mind advertisements when they feel they are getting something in return - they get to search the internet subscription free.

So I think it would be really cool (and possibly profitable) if you could make your pop up manager do things in addition to displaying text/pictures. That way you could offer a pop up that does something for the visitor and surround it with advertising. For instance, if you could put in an address box and have the PUM do a Google map search (either within the window or another window). You could do many things along this line, from social offerings (Amber A lerts), map searches, telephone lookups, web cams, (the weather thing is  little lame though), etc. etc. 

In other words a tool to take advantage of one of the current opportunities on the net right at the moment:  information consolidation. Just my two cents!
