A trawl around the web, May 23rd to June 3rd

A shop-front in Brussels, on 28th May. I took this. I liked the name, and the style of it.
Stuff about t’BBC
While the BBC fiddles, Britain’s innovation burns [Techcrunch UK]
Mike Butcher … worn record … growl … comments … Jem Stone … excellent … I have a rant too … Mike Butcher … lovely man … worn record …
Radiofall (XMPP-HTTP mashup) [mibly]
Another nice mashup of BBC data, this time using stuff from BBC Audio & Music Interactive's own XMPP services. Thank you @kael for your delicious tag - tag something for:jamescridland to ensure I see it…
Meet Olinda, trailblazer of the airwaves [Daily Telegraph]
Nice writeup of one of my team's projects. Still haven’t seen the radio itself, though. @tristanf, is it under your desk?
BBC radio on your iGoogle homepage
…an official gadget for your iGoogle homepage. Nicely done. I’ve added it. Why don’t you?
Other radio stuff
What's your name again? [Nik Goodman]
How to choose a good radio station name. Might be useful for a certain Mr David Lloyd. My comment on this posting doesn’t make a whole amount of sense, looking back at it. The Shizzle, I meant to say.
Radio and the digital native [RAB and RadioCentre]
Really good research from the RAB here (though my colleague Yasser tells me that it directly contradicts some BBC research, which is odd). I wonder how I can get on their mailing list, so I can be told of this stuff going up? There's some really good news for radio here.
Martin Kelner on the radio craze of 'testing tunes' [The Guardian]
"What radio does not want is me playing records I have brought in from home and swapping dubious jokes with my mates. So I have been encouraged by my employers to take early retirement from music radio." - bring this man to talkSPORT, I say. Not very loudly. UTV don’t listen to a word I say.
The Radio Hat [oddee.com]
Check out the radio hat - four or five magazine covers down. I want one. (Not)
Ego-search-a-go-go
James Cridland v Matt Deegan [feedcompare]
I win! Thanks to Matt Deegan for sending this to me. Nice website. (And his, too)
My full disclosure
…recently updated to include my work with the Radio Academy, and to stop claiming that I own shares in Emap plc. Shortly I won’t own shares in GCap Media plc either. I’ll just be stuck with UBC shares, and SMG. Never, ever, rely on me for investment advice. Unless you want to lose all your money.
