Some interesting articles on there from the Access 2.0 blog, detailing

Hey everyone
I'm surprised no one has commented on this yet but I imagine I'm one of the
younger members of this list, hence Facebook..
Anywho I was wondering what everyone thought about the sudden explosion of
facebook applications, and whether anyone had written one, who is a member

Hi Gary,
I'm not that close to the DAB side of things but I asked a few questions for
you and so here are some answers:
The main aim was to ensure all of our services are lumped together on DAB
radios. Some radios default to listing by multiplex but the majority list

Thanks for the partyline response, I suppose it kinda makes sense from a
grouping perspective... As long as the DJs on stations like 6Music aren't
made to say BBC Radio 6 Music (which would sound really stupid) then

once you've figured out the authentication signature. FBML is really
useful, saves lots of lookup API calls you would otherwisae have to make.

The problem at the moment seems to be that some of the popular apps (the

I have been playing with Google Gears too over the weekend.
Now I can't decide between using Bloglines and Greatnews or Google Reader for
my RSS reading?
I did however notice that Google Reader with gears only stores about 1000 items
which is enough for most people but I tend to store months
Maybe you might want to submit this as an backstage idea? ;) or create a
prototype of how you would have it displayed?
I'll certainly pass on your email.

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 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

Is there any way to add the physical locations (ie, latitude and longitude)
so that you can search for 'local' stories too? For example, Sports
reports would have the location of the stadium, News reports would list the
relevant locations etc

Sounds like a great idea; especially as I've been doing this for the BBC
News front page (similar to the RSS feed, I guess) since 2005? :-)
