RE: [backstage] The Proms
Not really on topic but almost... We're planning to release a dump of our historical Proms data (?1936?-2007) here under the usual creative commons licence soon(ish). It's currently off being re-keyed but as soon as that's done we'll make it available. Make of it what you will... Other data sets will also be made available shortly. ps the music ontology group (http://musicontology.com/) have expressed an interest in using this data to test their ontology spec.

RE: [backstage] Jakob Nielsen: Web 2.0 'neglecting good design'
This is all my personal opinion, and I entirely disagree. Mr Nielsen has a history of spouting contrary opinions to court controversy and gain publicity for himself and his company. Web 2.0[1] (for me at least) incorporates best practice methodologies of developing to standards (and the consequences of this, such as progressive enhancement etc) and trusting users as co-developers [2]. These core principals of Web 2.0 encourage good design. As with any technology, Web 2.0 will be misused - it's not the technology's fault that this happens, it's the designer/developer that fouled it up's problem.

Re: [backstage] Web 2.0 'neglecting good Accessible design'
This particular rant seems to be about useability rather than accessibility (although I appreciate the two are often closely related). Much as I often loathe Nielsen's writing - Jason's right, it's often all about Nielsen more than it is about any actual problems - in this case he's got a point. Web 2.0 sites are often completely unuseable - MySpace being a prime example, and Flickr (although it's been a while since I tried to use it to post a few pics and it may well have improved) another. Google Maps however, I'd hold up as a prime example of excellent intuitive design and useability. Just as the phrase Web 2.0 means different things to all people (I avoid it if at all possible as I feel it just makes the user sound like a buzzword spouting bandwagon-jumper who hasn't a clue what he's actually saying ;-) ), you can't tar all Web 2.0 sites with the same brush. Anyway, I've banged on far too long now, and this is what Nielsen wants - people to discuss HIM HIM HIM!!! Frankly, the less I hear of and from this tedious old bore, the happier I am. Cheers, Rich.

RE: [backstage] Web 2.0 'neglecting good Accessible design'
Odeo.com is a classic example of a Web2 site which looks very nice but unfortunately suffers from a REAL lack of usability. I actually used the site to add a new entry to my podcast on there, and then ranted about how hard it was to do so (and half of their in-page embedded players STILL don't work for ANY podcast on there, it's just mad!) Might do another rant too, and email them the link to listen to it... Fortunately though odeo is among the minority (even odder considering the same people are behind twitter, and that's such an easy site to use!) Sites like Newsvine and Flickr really get my vote for being great Web2 standard-bearers, I don't use Flickr that much (I'd rather keep my pictures on my own site, and I don't use it enough to bother with Pro status) but for the most part I've not had any problem using Web2 sites. The whole nature of them being dynamic and not having to wait for clicks to load entirely new pages adds to the experience for me. Nielsen loves going off on one.

RE: [backstage] BBC News 24 now streaming live - to your PDA
We're on the same wavelength... I've actually compiled all the BBC links I use onto a site formatted for my Vario 2 (or any =QVGA mobile device) - http://3g.totallyowns.co.uk It's uber-simple at the moment, I'll probably make it look a bit nicer and probably more dynamic (to make it easier to edit) and there's not much else on there at the moment aside from the Beeb and CNN Pipeline streams because that's all I watch and listen to!

[backstage] iPlayer invite emails
Just checked through my backlog of emails and I noticed (with glee) that I had one inviting me to apply for the iPlayer public trial... Sweet! So, I filled it in sharpish and fired it off (and I hope it filled it all out correctly, the more I think about it the more I'm not sure whether I chose Yes for 'are you over 16' haha).. Just wondering if anybody on here knows what the average turnaround time'll be for confirmation and activation emails if I do get accepted onto the trial? Ok, relatively stupid question now, but I'm curious: I noticed my trial ID's ridiculously large (77,802,xxx) - surely it can't have started at 1 and gone up sequentially for each tester, right? Last time I counted (yes, I did the last census on my own, it took a while) there was only circa 60m residents in the UK? :D
