You can create a spinning sphere using animation software, the
simplest I know is GifBuilder (a Mac program, freeware). There
would be many others. Fireworks and many other graphics programs
would have these facilities. Essentially you make a whole lot of
stills and then the prgm makes them run together creating a movie
effect in an animated gif. You can make an image map (in the
html, you reference the coordinates of the bits of the picture
that will make a user go to another page or whatever. This
technology will be blind to the changing content but could be
useful in a situation where links go according to whether the
viewer chooses latitudes because latitudes happen to luckily
correspond to the y coordinates of the rectangle which is
referenced. Clear as mud? Wait till you hear the fancy doodle
dandy things Travis or Space-Girl (where the hell is she?) will
tell you about Flash!
