Ok. I'll have a go...
- the leading pre-school website, certainly in the UK if not the
world.
- millions of hours of radio listening on demand every month and
more than any other website in the world.
- probably the most pioneering (Radio 1) media brand online in the UK
- the UK's leading mobile service.
- nearly 13 years of BBC News online, drm free podcasts (first in
UK), 90% of teenagers using a BBC online revision service every
year <cont'd p94..yawn yawn. please shut up BBC fanboy...sorry
staffer>
That's me told ;-)
Fair play, Jem, I should have thought of the podcasts seeing as how
half of them are in my iTunes.
However, I'll stand by my bitch/point about the beeb at dconstruct.
The general consensus amongst the people I spoke to was that the BBC
wasn't relevant to them as developers. As consumers, yes, but as
developers, no. I agree that my first statement was a bit
inflammatory, inaccurate and not really what I meant to write. I
should have said "online service" in the sense that, say, googlemaps,
the Flickr API or Twitter are services.
Going back to your list above - and I'm honestly not trying to troll
- what is there that I can do with those resources as a developer?
What access is there to that archive or online revision service other
than via the latest-news feeds or screen-scraping?

ps - I'm really, honestly not trolling, I swear! ;-)
we're not bad at that thing called interactive telly either. (does
that count ?)
(Tom - stop being cheeky. You've only been gone a few weeks.)
