FYI In BBC - The BBC Radio Blog: "I'm here now!": BBC's first location based service experiment for the Radio 1's Big Weekend audience. At http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/radio/2011/05/im_here_now_bbcs_first_locatio.html audience to say "I'm here now" to their friends while watching their favourite artists throughout the day. The key thing is that they have to be present at a stage to check in. So why are we doing this? This is an experiment to help the BBC explore privacy issues around Check Ins and ask whether the technology can enhance our audiences' experience of similar events. By using the latest mobile location technology, Facebook Places and a bit of web design, we've built a prototype that let's our audience share the experience with their family and friends in a way in which they're used to. We decided to use Facebook Places because we believe most of the audience at the event will have an account. -- Karl Dubost - http://dev.opera.com/ Developer Relations & Tools, Opera Software
