Good Radio Club: a follow up

While not everyone remains convinced that radio with pictures is anything other than television I've only seen good things about the experiment being run by colleagues over at Radio 4. Bluntly speaking Good Radio Club is the juxtaposition of two different media, and a selected live radio broadcast, with listeners posting links and commenting on the programme while they listen. It's all made possible by the judicious use of the to round up the relevant tweets.
There are several things about Good Radio Club that appeal to me not least the fact that anyone can set up their own club. It doesn't require any permissions, insider involvement or anything more complicated than a Twitter account and a radio. The other thing I like is that while for some it's a welcome enhancement of the radio experience when applied selectively, the rest of the audience can choose their level of participation as is reflected in this lovely graphic that's been produced by the Radio 4 Blog's editor.
You can also read the very informative Reith 2009 in the Twitterverse over at the Radio 4 Blog.

Slightly of topic but did you used to work for the Guardian as the financial editor?
Going back to your blog, its all very well blogging about Twits but surely you must have realised by now alot of your audience DETEST TWITS so could the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ stop BLOGGING so much about TWITS.

Please ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳, life is going on outside of 'Twitterverse', perhaps you should give it a go...
