This site shows how “in touch” the BBC News editorial team are with the general public using a simple percentage figure (see below), determined by comparing the top 10 headlines on the BBC News front page with the 10 most popular (most read) stories on the BBC News web site. Whilst the BBC editorial team should never strive to match the two lists and achieve 100% (as they are employed after all to decide what they think is most newsworthy) it is an interesting way to look at the data and see what really interests the general public. Having an overarching figure for this data means we can track how in touch the BBC are over time very easily. | source : www.bbc.co.uk
In addition we queried the datastore to give a list of all of the MPs appearances across Guardian and BBC content. This was returned as a JSON document, and passed to an embedded Processing Java applet. A Java applet may seem like an unusual choice in 2009, but Processing is an excellent choice for the rapid development of responsive graphics applications, due to its integration with existing JAVA libraries, and its powerful graphics framework. | source : www.bbc.co.uk

Mashup platforms that make it easier for consumer to create mashup applications, such as Yahoo! Pipes, Dapper, or Microsoft Popfly, are beginning to have analogues in the enterprise space. "Mashup platforms are in the pole position and ready to grab the lion's share of the market -- and an entire ecosystem of mashup technology and data providers is emerging to complement those platforms," says Forrester analyst G.
