Furion Radio
This morning at around 07:00 UTC there was a global message on Furion about the new Furion Radio. I joined #furion-radio and saw there is a bot called Spike running, posting messages about what's currently playing on Furion Radio. For example:
-
Spike
Now playing on 850TheBeat: Digger - geek love
-
Spike
Now playing on 850TheBeat: George Thorogood - Who Do You Love
-
Spike
Now playing on 850TheBeat: Various Artists - 08 - Larry Young - Alive

I think this is brilliant use of IRC as a syndication medium. You can listen to the internet audio stream and then at the same time see what's up and even discuss it on IRC.
The only pity is that 75.142.6.98 is not a South African IP so I can't listen to the radio through local-only ADSL and ridiculously expensive international bandwidth costs make this a little unpractical.
