Reinventing Radio: On Phonetags…
This post concerns an experimental internal-BBC-only project designed to allow users to bookmark, tag and rate songs they hear on the radio using their mobile phone. It was developed by Matt Webb and myself (with Gavin Bell, Graham Beale and Jason Cowlam) earlier this year.

When the big Santa Fe Southern Diesel locomotive pulled into the Santa Fe station yesterday evening, I noticed a big sign on the side: This engine is powered by Bio Diesel. I noticed that it didn’t seem to stink as much as other big Diesel locs. Did I ever mention I spend a little while loading/unloading postal mail railway cars at the Cologne station when I was 18?
