More ISS twitterings

A while ago I mentioned the great service that Paul Mison and his wife Candace named AboveLondon. The service was created during the HackLondon weekend and provides alerts about the visibility of the International Space Station, from London, via Twitter. That means that you can be alerted via web, instant messenger or even by text message and amaze your friends by pointing out the ISS in the sky. Paul also created alerts for San Francisco. The only trouble is that you had to live in either London or San Francisco to benefit from these great feeds. Now, Robert Simpson has decided to tackle that issue a little by adding a few more places to the mix. So, if you live near Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Manchester, Milton Keynes, New York, Paris, San Francisco, Sydney you can also be updated. I am particularly happy about the Manchester option. Thanks Rob!

Comments: More ISS twitterings

...well shucks. Thanks Stuart. To be honest, although my brother lives in Manchester I did that one more for you and the peeps at Jodcast. Glad you like it.

Now lets hope they work...
