[Keyword: onlinejournalism]. The BBC has launched a raft of interactive tools as part of its election coverage, hosted by an animated Peter Snow. These include a darts game based on the swingometer, a desktop alert service, email alerts, an interactive swingometer (with a video of Peter Snow providing instructions), a quiz, a seat calculator, and a poll tracker.

Or, you could just forget the journalism and enjoy flinging mud at the candidates at Radio 1’s online game.
