Thursday BBC Worldwide announced a deal with MySpace.com that brings content from the BBC to the huge social networking website. Apparently the editorial team at BBC News didn’t know, and on the same day ran a story about how hard it is to delete your profile from MySpace. Bad timing? Sure. But this blog entry on BBC’s technology blog made me, well, LOL. It called the irony of the timing:
A good way of proving a) how impartial we are and b) how no two parts of the BBC know what each other is up to.
The new MySpace page does look nice though. There are lots of videos, although no videos from BBC News. Also, the videos are able to be embedded onto external sites. A feature we at LostRemote love.
