The latest experiment from the BBC’s Taster initiative is the BBC Election Bot, a Twitter account that will send you the nearest result for any UK postcode you choose to tweet its way.
Tweet me first half of a postcode, eg W1A, I'll reply with closest matching #ge2015 result. Full result service here: http://t.co/WzeYySPg7o
