A cursory search reveals no less than 8 companies already selling this
What companies? I did a search for "LCD Marketing Dashboard" and didn't come up with anything. Not doubting you, just curious what these would be called!
I used to work in kiosk software, sort of a similar area.
Anyone know of a frame that works like this that can work without some third-party service for publishing? I'd like to do something like this on information that's under a strict NDA.
Chumby, http://www.chumby.com/ , is a device that's made to be easily hackable. However, the screen size is small.

$95 http://www.amazon.com/Kodak-EasyShare-W820-Wireless-Digital/... Comments suggest you can place any RSS feed into it.
It looks like a good solution
I do have two questions though: Does the photoframe automatically update the RSS feed each time it runs through so that your stats are always current? I was under the impression that it only reads the RSS feed once on slideshow startup, and then just keeps display the same info over and over (whether or not it keeps the photos in memory I don't know)
Also, have you figured out a way to get your dashboard to startup when you turn the photo-frame on, instead of having to select windows framit from the menu? That's my most cringe-worthy "feature" of the buffalo frame. I'm actually thinking about calling them and getting them to fix that.

I know of options for that sort of thing (look for "digital signage") but the pricing is not in the same ballpark as a digital photo frame. (In Japan at least, it is sufficiently expensive that I think going the Panic way is probably cheaper if you plan on providing your own programming.)
But no, you'll never get anything as cheap as these buffalo monitors.

Why are we all doing this with RSS feeds? I want a frame that serves up a samba folder over a wifi network. That's all. I can make a dozen different things that stuff pictures dynamically into that folder, all the frame needs to do is cycle through them.
It just ALSO has support for windows frameit, flicker and picasa.
It's a pretty nice piece of hardware.
Have you thought about making something like this a startup? A SaaS metrics dashboard service? I deal with a lot of call centers and marketing houses that do big "competitive" dashboards to motivate/track staff and they have to roll their own systems. I'm sure a bunch of tech groups would like to have a Panic-esqe dashboard, but wouldn't want to go through the hassle of doing it themselves. Not sure if it is a huge m…
It's going to be a pretty large market, but is still in the burgeoning phase (especially in Nagoya)

7" usb monitor. $99 USD. http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/usb-gadgets/c609/
Extra points for being able to make $4000/mo from an online bingo card creator. I never, ever, would thought that was possible. The long tail indeed...
