Re: [backstage] BBC Snapshot Archive
Thought I'd add this for people to have a look at. This is an automated snapshot archive of the BBC's homepage and news homepage. http://www.webcoding.co.uk/bbc-home-archive Very nice. In a similar vein http://hanzoweb.com allows you to create browseable archives of (collections of) arbitrary webpages. You can also tag the archives and share them with others. You can sign up for a free account on the site and grab a bookmarklet but, more interestingly, we've just launched an open API at ETech this week. It's early days and not guaranteed stable yet although we are trying to start with a small relatively stable core and slowly expand from there. What we have at the moment will let you programmatically submit a crawl job, check its status and retrieve the archived page(s). The api documentation and a page to request a key will be going up on the site in the next week or so but feel free to drop me a mail off list (peter dot ferne at hanzoweb dot com) to request a key before then if you'd like to have a play around. For the BBC staffers on the list we will also be presenting at one of George Auckland's Digital Media University lunchtime sessions on Fri 24 Mar at 14:30. -- petef - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

Re: [backstage] BBC Snapshot Archive
The C# app is using IE as a rendering agent and a fairly horrible piece of code which has to scroll the browser and take another screen shot again and again until it has the whole page, after that it combines the images into one. The app is also running on my home machine and the server grabs the latest images. I've added a small animator to make the changes more apparent. I like Jeremy's idea of producing some other information about whats being put into del.ic and digg. Ill look into it if I have some time. The next logical step is to take a snapshot of the text content and see what changes there and then move on to digg etc.. The only issue is disk space now :) Jim.

Re: [backstage] Today's TV-Anytime tar is broken
Sorry, it's up there now. Don't know if this is related to the problems earlier this week yet. Will keep an eye on it.

RE: [backstage] BBC Snapshot Archive
Thought I'd add this for people to have a look at. This is an automated snapshot archive of the BBC's homepage and news homepage. http://www.webcoding.co.uk/bbc-home-archive > Hi James Great..thanks for doing that.. Another fascinating take on how our site, journalism decisions, editorial choices evolve. As Murray has also said in this thread. Compare, contrast, with this.home page archive that Matthew Somerville put together for us a few months back. http://www.bbc.co.uk/homearchive/ Now if you could add some representations of how those links, images, stories are being used, clicked on, bookmarked and then tracked over time. I would be a very very happy man. (integrated into Digg, del.icio.us) and the like. Jem, backstage.bbc.co.uk <>
