Wow, another million duplicate BBC's, just like wikipedia :rolleyes:

Their RSS feeds have all been "not for commercial use" so it will be interesting to see what they implement / allow.

Thankfully, I think it's the same terms for the API as the RSS feeds. ie, not commercial use only.

Yeah, saw this linked from plasticbag.org - it definitely looks cool, especially if people find fun ways to use them (like listing the news stories, and then linking the latest blog entries on a similar topic - or something:p).
Generalissimo

Most of the content is links to the BBC's pages.
