My<a href=" first piece of coding for about 7 years" class="dead-link"> first piece of coding for about 7 years, was a runner up in the Technorati developers contest!. How cool is that? The other winners are pretty damn cool too, especially Govtrack/, which is looks a bit like a US TheyWorkForYou.com

Aha, no it didn't! WikiProxy is a sort of mirror of the BBC news website, but with important words made into Wikipedia links.
This fixes an oft-mentioned deficiency of the site, i.e. that it doesn't provide much in the way of links to further reading.

Stef,
To others who are reading about WhiteLabel and the BBC wiki, if you go to the link below my name, you'll see a write up. There's a comparison line, showing the BBC article before and after including blog comment-links from Technorati.
I rechecked the Wiki. Some blog-comments don't stay linked — my blog-links showed up for a while, but then disappeared.
Congrats, Stef! You got featured in TheRegular [link below, last name corrected ;-) ]... Good luck!

This has a massive potential for alternative news sites. We could just link key words to alternative explanations.
Is the code available?
Does or can the BBC object?

simon - hi - i can't find any other way to email you. We're a web developer and we're working on an onl9ine music download service called TuneTribe. I think that your WikiProxy would really benefit our site - i am imagining visitors being able to see 'related bloggs' in the left hand menu when they are on a particular artist or album page.
I am not remotely technical - i am a front end person - but can you tell me if:
a) you would be interested in/allow us to use the technology
b) if it is even technically possible
c) if it something that can simply be plugged in - we have a new release going live on 8 April and this would be brilliant to incorporate.
Please let me know,
Many thanks,
Tim Malbon
