You can get software to aggregate twitter feeds or trends for inclusion on a website - Juitter is one example. This means getting down and dirty with the website code, however...

here's a joke for you guys:

10010001001110010000010101100100100001000100101

btw you can twitter via sms - requires enabling something on your twitter account but then you can send an update by msg
is this how fru achieved their notifications on friday? or were they smart-phoning/iphoning it?
Left hand, right hand, it doesn't matter. I'm amphibious.

Don't be so patronising Rooster I verify my viewers from three different sources. >TT

Not disputing just mentioning a problem I noticed but if you are using other outside sources figure is probably correct. >TM >TC

Don't get it :scratch:

Mike was twittering with an iphone app - I think FRU were just embedding his stuff onto their site.
Can I come out from behind the sofa yet?

To broadcast live, I have listened to things broadcast live over the internet using iphones and Ustream.

No idea of the technical bits though.
Why? Why not?

The 2 iplayer videos from Newcastle and Viadana matches are online now quality not as good because of multiple processing between source and final destination but hope of use to Lanzaman, Setanta and all the others exiled around the world.
Both available at http://www.youtube.com/user/TheUAFC

Cheers to all of you who make following Ulster from afar a helluva a lot easier with tweets / videos / texts - keep up the good work :salut: :thumleft:
