Very cool, still waiting for it to fill my screen but thanks for the cool prototype. Would be cool to build this in SVG me thinks.
Less talk and more prototypes people... Your slightly wrong about the infrastructure (should be discussed on the super secret internal list really but hey were all about openness). I can easily support your prototype on a Backstage Wild West Server. Drop me a email off list.

Theres a few of us involved here, including Yasser Rashid, Cathy Bartlet and Ramon Dodd. Its around visualizing now playing information by pulling in data from across the web, and lives at... http://www.simoncross.com/music/radio1/ - its temporarily on a personal server as our infrastructure here at the BBC doesn't currently allow us to do this kind of thing :-( The plan for this is to eventually build a flash version which is full-screenable to provide a visual companion while listening in the office, or on the web etc. Future data sources we hope to build on include Musicbrainz, Wikipedia, YouTube, song lyrics,Yahoo Music and loads more. At the moment, we've just got as far as last.fm, flickr and the webcam, but its a start! Comments welcome! S - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
