Pachube is a site that allows users to stream data to and collect data from the site in real time.  Examples include sensors for radiation, temperature, and light level.  Often, microcontrollers like the Arduino are used to collect and transmit data.  The site offers are rich API along with online tools such as visualization and mapping.  Not sure exactly what I could use it for, but seems interesting.
