BBC Backstage has launched, and very exciting it is too, providing content feeds for anyone to build cool stuff with. Headshift has built a rather funky 'shared tags' tool for BBC News stories, which allows you to apply your own tags to any story, see what tags other users have applied, view other stories with similar tags, and see feeds from del.icio.us, flickr and technorati with similar tags. All done in almost-real-time through the magic of XMLHttpRequest (aka AJAX). Pretty nifty, huh? Please note that it is a prototype and as such is being improved all the time.
Check it out, dudes.
