BBC - Radio Labs - What's not obvious about Radio Pop at first glance and some answers to questions that you might have
september 2008 by mottram
"...we have deliberately made it a bit convoluted - first, go to your Radio Pop Listen page and click on the "Add your listening »" link. Then go over to our /programmes site, find the episode of the programme you listened to, copy the URL and paste it into the box on that page. Voila! The programme will be added to your listening profile." Voila my arse. They don't give a good reason why they've made it so hard for people who listen to the radio on the radio to use the service, either. I mean, I *love* the idea of Radio Pop, and am willing to jump through these hoops, but most people are going to look at those instructions and say, 'Er, no.'. Fingers crossed someone much cleverer than me will use the API to make an app with a button I can click to say "Hello Radio Pop, I'm listening to Radio 4 just now/Bye Bye Radio Pop, now I've stopped".
