Re: [backstage] Hourly news flashes via IM

Yeah, I've seen the breaking news alerts thing, it's a bit bloated and intrusive, that's why I like the look of this IM bot. When all the bugs get ironed out, maybe the Beeb could look into making it "official"?

News have a desktop alert application you can download ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/help/3533099.stm) but it would be good to translate the breaking news emails (http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/email/breakingnews ) into IM alerts.
