We're all aware of what seems to be an epidemic of teen pregnancies these days. This is a particular problem in the northeast of England, where 1 in 20 girls will have a baby before the age of 18. Since this isn't all that new of a statistic, women in that region who had children in their teens are now dealing with those kids getting pregnant, leading to a new epidemic: Grandmas in their early ...

Filed under: Other Drama Shows, Episode Reviews, Reality-Free(S01E01) Having been a fan of the original BBC version of this show, I was somewhat skeptical of the idea of an American remake. After watching the first episode, I was both elated, as it seems to translate well into an Americanized world (I practically predicted a shot of the Twin Towers before they appeared on screen), and concerned over some of the differences.Let me start with the ...

I’m not even going to pretend that I understand the context of this clip from the BBC. I’ve no idea what ‘mating the filipina maid with the northener’ means, except that it seems to be a dig at this northener for not being able to get interested in a sexy girl ‘presenting her rear’ (which is zoologist talk for the kind of sexual body language that features giving prominence to the rump). This interpretation - ...

BBCs “Have your say” lar brukerne sende inn egne videoer via Qik, noe som lar brukerne sende inn videoer til kanalen. Eller til og med sende live fra mobilen. Det gir en spennende “direkte” følelse siden kommentarene kommer inn underveis, som f. eks. under debatten mellom McCain og Obama i natt. Hva er Qik? Les “Problemet med å være populær” BBC bruker også Qik selv, til å gi tilbakemeldinger til brukerne om hvordan det hele ...

It geotags news content so each user can search for news by postcode. Nothing new there, web-savvy newshounds might think, but actually it is: Though Archant announced plans for geotagged sites last October (it started with Jobs24 (a winner at yesterday’s NS ADM Awards) ...

News aggregators come in many shapes and sizes, ranging from straight forward aggregators (e.g. Google News) to social bookmarking sites such as Digg, Stumble Upon and Delicious. When creating a custom category of the top sites in the UK we used a pretty fluid definition. As you can from the table below, which lists the top 10 most visited sites during August, we’ve included RSS readers and Twitter (as we pointed out recently, the micro-blogging ...

Reading the e-Consultancy interview with Lou Rosenfeld on the importance of site search analytics, I was reminded of when I was product manager of intranet (or enterprise) search at the BBC. It was back in 2002. People complained that search was broken, but we had neither quantitative nor qualitative data to analyse. After consulting with my colleague Martin Belam, who at the time was looking after search on bbc.co.uk, I put in place a system ...

The BBC has employed Steve Bowbrick as a blogger-in-residence for six months, to look at making their site more open, and to specifically work on the Common Platform project. It’s worth keeping an eye on his progress (he promises to blog everything). His specific aim is to address these questions for the BBC Future and Technology team: • How open can we be? • Should we share this insight with outsiders? • Should we be ...

I thing it became clear to me that my career at the BBC had reached its ultimate conclusion when I found myself insisting that the programme I was looking after had a card system for politicians. I wanted politicians to answer questions and not repeat themselves so I wanted to introduce a football style card system (eg: one repetition or none-answer gets a yellow - two and it’s a red). OK, the Beeb were quite ...
