I hope you don't mind a little self-promotion, but I recently set up 
http://twitterfeed.comhttp://twitterfeed.com - a service that lets 
you take any RSS feed and post its updates to twitter. So if anyone 
here wants specific BBC twitter updates, as long as there's a feed 
for it, you should be able to create a twitter bot for it all on 
your own :-)


A little experimental still, but working so far..

I am sure RSS to twitter has some merit, but I feel twitter is about 
human presence not machine generated feeds.

I've looked at Twitter and I can see the usefulness, but I can't find a
Google/Vista gadget for it...  Have I missed it, or do I need to get coding?

I think you'll find what you want here: http://twitter.pbwiki.com
Lists both a Vista sidebar and a Google gadget..

Twadget - http://arsecandle.org/twadget/ - for the Vista sidebar. I've had
problems with it, but that's probably just me...

Otherwise, it works just as well with Google Talk / Jabber / AIM - just
leave the conversation window open.

what track is now playing and what people are texting in about.

What amused me is that I mentioned this at the Backstage bash (I can do
now-playing on Virgin really easily with this!) - and everyone rolled their
eyes and thought I was desperately sad.


I now know that everyone was thinking shit, give me three months and we
might be able to code something up for Radio 1.

Gauntlet? Thrown.

I'd never take any notice of anyone then, and where would be the fun in
that?

Or mention good ideas at a BBC backstage bash! Though, honestly, I wasn't

there.
...and more like 3 hours.



I've not started yet; and not too convinced I want to clutter up Twitter
with 'now-playing' stuff, the more I think about it... maybe *you're* the
one who's desperately sad! (grin)
