10 years of BBC.co.uk on the BBC Internet Blog
by Martin Belam, 28 November 2007
I've been guest-blogging this week over at the BBC's new BBC Internet Blog.
December 15th is the official birthday of the BBC's web services - although, rather like the Queen's official birthday, it seems a slightly arbitrary date. There is, of course, plenty of evidence of prior art.
So far three of my articles have been published on the blog - sticking to topics that regular visitors here will be familiar with. The first was an overview of ten years of Doctor Who on the web, and the next posts were a two part look at the development of the BBC's search engine - something which, in the olden days of 2003, this blog used to be amost entirely devoted to.
There should be more to come either later this week or next.
I owe a pint to whichever public-spirited individual remembered to put that owl on the page headers.
John. Thanks. That was my v.fine colleague Alan Connor.
He'll be in touch to claim his pint. Do i get one tool because I *let* him keep the owl up there in the right hand corner ;)
Watch out for more obscure "homages" to our distant glorious geeky BBC past in the all new BBC homepage...coming soon i hear.
