Hi Stefan, Have you seen this? http://www.betanews.com/article/PDC_2008_Live_blog_of_the_Windows_7_keynote/1225207963
"*10:44am PT:* The BBC is doing a demonstration of integrating the Live Framework with the BBC iPlayer. Users can see what their friends are watching, and see the most popular programs." 2008/10/28 Stefan Richter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hi all, > today I'd like to draw your attention to a site which I have recently > launched. > > www.bantertv.com pulls in the currently available BBC simulcast streams > and adds a chat interface. Sounds simple - and it is. However noone seems to > have done it yet, and I think combining live TV with a channel for > interaction between viewers is hugely attractive. > So if you have nothing better to do at 1pm then head over and watch the one > o'clock news there. > > If you like the idea - and the BBC is not too miffed about the project - > then I'd like you to help spread the word. I have a few more 'social' > features waiting to be switched on but quite frankly there's not much point > in doing that until there's a core group of visitors bringing some traffic. > Once that happens though I am sure that the conversations will be > interesting to watch - imagine Eastenders (once the main BBC channels go > simulstream), or Strictly come Dancing. > > A bit of background about myself (since this is my first real contribution > to the list): > I'm a Flash Platform developer specialising in Flash video, Flash Media > Server and real-time capabilities in Flash. My company is > www.muchosmedia.com and my personal blog is at www.flashcomguru.com > I'm currently bootstrapping the development of some Flash based services, > the first one being www.scribblar.com, an online collaboration tool. As > you can see on BanterTV, I also build a lot of chat applications, some of > which include live audio and video (via webcam/mic). > > I'm looking forward to getting more involved in this group (and I think I > have something ping.fm related to post soon). > > Best wishes, > > Stefan > > > > - > Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
