@F1PitRadio and @F1PitRadio2 are awesome for, believe it or not, team radio which isn't heard on the main coverage

Just checked and again it's just full of crap: https://twitter.com/F1PitRadio

Far too much noise for it to be useful.

 

[Jos the Boss]

During the races, it's very useful and is there any way you could use the "No Replies" feature? But I think that may just be for verified users though

 

[Brogan]

I'm not sure what you mean by no replies josh?

I'll add it to the chat one and see how it works for the next race.

 

[Jos the Boss]

I'm Jos, but close
Anyway, as seen on https://twitter.com/SkySportsF1, next to tweets you have "all/no replies" the latter shows tweets that haven't replied to people

 

[Brogan]

Sorry, I was on the tablet

Aha, I see what you mean.
I'm not sure if that's part of the API or not but I'll check.

I don't actually see a difference when I click between the two though...

 

[Jos the Boss]

That's because that particular account doesn't seem to want to tweet many people! On other accounts it's a lot more visible

 

[Brogan]

I have to say I really like the new Twitter API.
I was completely unaware the one we were using had been deprecated last year until Mike mentioned it to me.

The new Twitter block is so much better in terms of layout and content, with images and video automatically showing.

I'm not sure Andrew Benson is necessary, he don't af spout some shit at times.....

 

[Brogan]

True.
But he is the official BBC spokesman so posts all the links to the BBC F1 articles, etc.

 

[Mephistopheles]

I bow to your greater judgement....
