Re: [backstage] Radio Pop

2008-09-04 Thread Helen Watson
I really like this, if nothing else it's just interesting to see how
much and of what radio I listen too!

The graphs etc look really nice, young and fresh! Flex I assume!

Good work.

 Hello everyone,

 Thanks for checking Radio Pop out and keep those bug reports coming.
 Radio Pop - tracklistings - last.fm is certainly on the list of things to
 look at.

 Specially for Backstage-type people there's an API you might want to
 look at http://www.radiopop.co.uk/api, including using OAuth to submit data
 to Radio Pop. Get in contact if you want to use it.

 Looking forward to the next Track Playing revision.

 Tristan

 Hi Dafyd,

 From the looks of it Radio Pop is only intended to record
 the radio programmes you're listening too, not the music.  But I guess it
 wouldn't be too hard for them to add in the link between the programmes
 you've listened to and the track listing for those programmes to extrapolate
 some more information about your music taste, and ultimatly chuck that at
 last.fm

 Until then though it looks like I might be able to add
 support for Radio Pop to my Track Playing website -
 http://www.trackplaying.com - it is quite a nice fit.  If you are using
 Track Playing to find out about the artist playing on the radio, I then know
 what radio station you're listening to and can tell Radio Pop, and let you
 Pop aswell.  And with the further update I want to make to Track Playing
 of having it scrobble the track information to last.fm, I might have quite a
 nice little service going on!

 FYI I've been making constant updates to Track Playing over
 the last week, but I'll post more on those later.

 All in all well done to the Radio Labs team, looks like a
 nice little prototype you've built there!  (Note the link to widgets on
 http://www.radiopop.co.uk/help links to http://www.radiopop.co.uk/pulse, and
 that says Page not found.)

 Cheers,
 Chris

 Don't think this has been posted to the list yet:
 Radio Labs' Radio Pop [http://www.radiopop.co.uk]. Social radio? Fit!

 Now, who's going to get it to talk nicely to
 Last.fm...?

Re: [backstage] BBC iPlayer, loved by millions, disliked by a single US citizen

2008-05-06 Thread Helen Watson
  Someone who earns 14K per annum pays 1% of their income in TV Licensing,
  someone who earns 140K pays only 0.1%, (assuming both own a colour
  television), (figures not exact).

  Anyone else think that is a little bit unfair? Wouldn't a proportional
  or progressive tax be fairer?

NO!
