Eurovision, Terry Wogan and Flickr
If you've listened to the 43 songs (yes, 43!) on the BBC site, downloaded your scorecards from the party planner section; read the latest news and still want more, you could add your Eurovision photos to the BBC's Flickr group. Much as it did with its social bookmarking links on news articles, the BBC proves again that it really has its finger on the pulse and knows when to turn on the utilize the latest web 2.0 technologies.
For the uninitiated, the Eurovision song contest is an annual competition where singers (who sing very average songs!) from different European nations compete against each other. Once the final song is sung, the phone voting takes place. Though you can't vote for your own country you will always find that Balkan states vote for their neighbours, the Scandinavian for theirs and the Russian Federation countries for their neighbours. It is quite fun even though nobody seems to vote for Britain and song quality counts for absolutely nothing!
