  1. @pogoff Sounds (if you'll excuse the pun) wonderful! I'll see how I can help. (PS You might want to delete your email from public tweet...)
  2. Enjoying the sound of the #worldcup vuvuzelas? Now you can listen while online and pretend you're there! http://www.vuvuzela-time.co.uk/ :)
  3. @pogoff Yes - the map should still be open for new sounds. Let me know if they're still not up there...
  4. Good stuff! RT @soundarchive Listen to our audio podcasts about British Library events, exhibitions & tours http://is.gd/cXsvB
  5. The vuvuzela horns accompanying the World Cup matches are quite something aren't they? Anyone going to save them to our map? #wc2010
  6. At lunch I listened to the sound made by car tyres rolling over rain-soaked roads. Sounded a bit like painting walls using a paint roller...

  14. @mcourcel I think sound is very powerful - it can transport you to all sorts of places without leaving your seat. :)
  15. Save Our Sounds Friday fun! Get yourself an SOS ringtone: http://bit.ly/8ZcU3J (Choose from 56k modem, hippo, wolf-whistling bird and more!)
  16. Just spoken to BBC Shropshire about Save Our Sounds - great quote from producer @leswalton: "We live in a beautiful world of sound". Agreed.
  17. We're thinking about offering some of our sounds as ringtones - do you have any favourites? Have a listen via the map: http://bit.ly/cmC1ig
  18. @tom__ Haha! I should be so lucky!
