As was discussed Here this wasn't an Open, open meeting but a closed open meeting, that is open to only the invited (mostly the 91Èȱ¬'s partners and suppliers it would seem). Sorry but the 91Èȱ¬ is being less than open about how open these meetings really are!...

Please 91Èȱ¬, "Buzz" words are oh so late 1990s - early 'Noughties', enough of them to sink a ship in the first video, many of them repeated ad nausea - Sorry! Such meerkating speek might work within a the trade luv-ins but in the wider world it doesn't any more, in fact it's more likely to just generate lots of cynicism rather than anything else...
Seetha Kumar talked about the 91Èȱ¬ 'home page', what page is that, just how many still think that the way into a website is only via the domain name (in this case www.bbc.co.uk), just how many use that page and then click-through to their intended section rather than having just book-marked, clicked-though or typed in the direct URL?
Nic Newman talked about syndicated (video) content, when the 91Èȱ¬ talks about greater syndication to external sites does this include (suitable) private/non-commercial sites or just greater syndication within the established/91Èȱ¬ partner media industry?
Simon Nelson talked about many things, one being programmes having support via online content, why is the 91Èȱ¬ starting this off with such well known programmes - Should the 91Èȱ¬ not be fulfilling it's PSB remit (never mind the Rethian values within it's Royal Charter) first and foremost, by offering and promoting content that is not being offered by the commercial sector rather than competing for the same audience...
91Èȱ¬ Comedy, sorry but if the extracts shown are 'comedy' then the comedy greats (like Morecambe and Wise, Sykes and even Benny Hill were Shakespearian actors... There is an audience beyond the 25 year old you know!
Radio visualisations - what's the point?... Money would be better spent elsewhere, in other ways or at least make them available as a user opt-in only, I can think of nothing more crass than forcing visualisations onto an audience who will have built up their own mental image (visualisation) of the radio programme - especially plays, dramas and soaps.
One last comment regarding the video, I hope that the production 'qualities' were intentional...

Slightly strange that you should pick up on this subject, as in the presentation I gave I only very briefly mentioned visualisation once. 99% of what I presented was about other areas of our strategy, as you can see if you watch the video.
Having said that, all our research shows that the latest visualisation trials (/blogs/bbcinternet/2009/07/radio_and_telly_thatd_be_telio.html%29 have been extremely popular with our audiences. Worth noting too that they are all opt-in only. We don't force visualisations on anyone!

There is an audience beyond the 25 year old and most will welcome the additional information add-ons, We help part time to run the members are fully paid up members of this digital generation and will use the information, services and possible purchase from sources which by affiliation will be taken as trusted. If that helps the 91Èȱ¬'s coffers so much the better.
One problem we have found is feedback after after applying to be included in the 91Èȱ¬ search engines external links database. Many of our members use the 91Èȱ¬ search and ask why we are not included, we have no answer as one is never informed.
Back to the comments great stings coming, please keep the add-ons simple user friendly functions.

This means that those who are "unfortunate enough" (in the blinkered eyes of the 91Èȱ¬) to connect via an IP address which is not in the UK cannot see the above video, even if they are living, working and paying fees & taxes in the UK.

Why are these blogs pre moderated? pre moderation is slow and loses the spontaneity of debate Why are some cut off early? (the last one of robinson's replacement Laura was cut before it reached forty and was so heavily moderated it was ridiculous. Any criticism of the 91Èȱ¬ is moderated (censored) just what has the 91Èȱ¬ got to fear from free speech?

Even some of us inside the UK are unable to read all the text pages.
Message to the "open Day" attendees:-
Let's get back to first principles.
Don't complicate matters, just let us read the pages, in the way we once could.
There are many thousands out 'here' that are censored by the new technology.

I think the 91Èȱ¬ News Site is poor-Very slow with breaking news
Most other news sites have stuff up well before the 91Èȱ¬.
The local pages are worse - -six or seven items - some left there for days on end.
Obviously there is a lack of effort - will - license payers money being put into it.
So where would you go for News ?-- prob not the 91Èȱ¬.
By the time they eventually , slowly get it 'updated' -we will all be with Sky News- Bold,brash, punchy and UP TO DATE.
* Accessing it from the USA - the site has adverts/pop ups/and pre adverts on any video clips available.

...and your comment (or was it just an anti 91Èȱ¬ rant) has what, exactly, to do with the subject under discussion?
Anyway, it's no good being first, "Bold,brash, punchy and UP TO DATE", with the news if what is broadcast is simply wrong, better to be second - or even third or fourth - and accurate than first, then have to make a public retraction! I'm not saying that the 91Èȱ¬ doesn't make mistakes but they pail into insignificance (in my opinion) when compared to certain other media companies.
Oh, and why shouldn't people outside the UK, many who do not pay the UK TVL fee, not 'pay' for the content they access by advertising, indeed people who subscribe to the Murdock media not only pay their subscriptions but then have to watch adverts too...
