Use BBC stuff to build YOUR stuff

Yes, this is in the wrong forum, it should be in the media websites/mock designs forums but it'd probably be lost down there and I think it's important and of interest to lots of you.

Basically the BBC is now opening up lots of dynamic information feeds for people to develop their own applications, and within the website above are quite a few nice apps already.

At £11.66 a word, your post is welcome ANYWHERE, Sir.

If only that was my usual rate.

makes a very nice active desktop item... I look forward to mocks containing real data from now on!!!

I like the demo of the wikipedia thing where words get turned into links.

Very good idea this. Run on movable type but never mind. I've never undestood the BBC's love for Perl.

'Tis very efficient, far more so than PHP, and more reliable than Java for interoperability.

This could probably move to Mocks/Websites now that everyone has seen it...

No, the staff are too busy updating the FAQs.

They MUST be, I had an e-mail in March saying it was the next job.

I can honestly tell you Nick that I've been slaving away for the last 24 hours - it's more strenuous than a BBC News 24 relaunch.

Oh and moved to media websites.

Not QUITE sure I meant THAT kind of slaving, though, James!

That's the last time I bring personal matter onto the forum!

Just so long as you were getting £11.66 per mouthful!
