Mario Menti posted a new instant message prototype on the BBC’s backstage site. It allows you to access the 7 day schedule via an instant messaging client (iChat or MSN Messenger) and get reminders sent to your phone via SMS. I’m not sure how wide of an appeal that would have for our audience but some sort of reminder that is more immediate than email could be useful. Well it would be nice as long as it was kept lean and we didn’t spam our audience with reminders.
