Re: [backstage-developer] RSS Sliders
Would that be useful? Yes, much much more so. If I can't use Google Reader to read something, I don't read it, and I suspect I'd not that abnormal.
Re: [backstage] iPhone - security issues?
So, Apple is a monopoly supplier of hard drive MP3 players, an evil DRMer AND not only do they have an unlockable phone (except from France and Germany) but they respect your privacy LESS than Revenue and Customs??? There is no doubt they are evil, but the kit itself is too damned pretty to go with the opposition!
Re: [backstage] Thoughts from a previous BBC employee
To give away my age, I remember listening to Kenny Everett on what was called the wireless back then. Now that is an interesting analogy. I wonder what software developed in a method such as John Peel used would be like? *Wanders off into silly ideas of thousands of programmers sending in their snippets of code and the great man playing with lots of them in a room to see which he liked and how they might fit together into a crazy mix of styles and languages*
Re: [backstage] BBC Audio Music at Hackday
That is some really neat stuff. The RadioPlayer data alone is making me drool. Are these feeds are a one-time only deal? Or can every day be Hack Day?

Re: [backstage] BBC Audio Music at Hackday
No, that's pretty understandable about the RadioPlayer. There's far too much potential for abuse in structuring the scheduling data with direct links to the media. Pity, though, I was looking forward to making playlists in Listen Again. Daithi On 6/16/07, Tristan Ferne [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Most are going to persist in one form or another.

Re: [backstage] Proposal for a new API source
That sounds like fun. It would be a nice research tool to pick out all the BBC News stories about a particular topic and see how it developed. Was it just the RSS feeds you wanted to stored? Because the See Also links on an news story page would be great to cross reference in the database. Is there any other story metadata floating about that could be incorporated as well? If it's easy(famous last words) then definitely build it. Sounds like a great idea to me. Daithi On 6/4/07, Ian Forrester [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I've been thinking about what data you guys find useful and what data could be made available without getting rights clearance involved. Anyway, one thing the BBC does a lot of is RSS feeds. But there not exactly that useful for larger applications and prototypes because of lack of structure and partial nature (best way I can explain it). So how about we started to archive the RSS feeds into one large database, index them by time and date, slap a nice REST interface on them and let you guys have access to it? I imagine within a few months, you could data mine out keywords and trends. It would also make a great archive of the news at the time (suggesting we use BBC News, World Service and Sport feeds to start). Ideally in the future, you would all be able to add metadata around the original items, setup unique queries and copy the whole database. How's this sound because its something I think could be built quite easily. If people are interested I can go into the details later on the list. So what do you guys all think?
