sounds interesting. What exactly is the Live Service or Framework?

"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."

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
