There has been about the iPlayer and ( even good!). I have done a couple of interviews with and to try and move on the dialogue from why we needed to make the decisions we did, to where we go from here, and to how we intend moving forwards towards universal access to our content in the UK. These are intended to open more meaningful conversation based on a mutual understanding of the issues and practicalities we face.

I'd be interested in your thoughts, so please do comment - either on this post or, if you are a subscriber, via the .

This blog aims to talk about what the 麻豆官网首页入口 does on the internet and in technology, including 麻豆官网首页入口 websites, internet services and technology products like the iPlayer. It will feature contributions from 麻豆官网首页入口 Future Media and Technology teams, interactive editors, executives, controllers and FM&T's Director along with your comments.

The 麻豆官网首页入口 wants to be more open and accountable, so this site is a place for everyone to join the conversation. So please do criticize the 麻豆官网首页入口 in your comments (I suspect you will not need much encouragement!), and ask tough questions. When someone makes a point that needs a considered response on this blog, I'll try to make this happen. I welcome comments on this post about what topics you think the blog should cover and how it can be improved.

This blog will also link out to the conversation about the 麻豆官网首页入口 , and to individual blogs. I hope to point to where . As Tom Loosemore outlined in the 麻豆官网首页入口's , the web is a conversation. Rather than trying to own or control the conversation, I'm hoping to encourage 麻豆官网首页入口 people to join in (and I may even join in myself!).

As Peter Barron (Editor, Newsnight) has pointed out on the News Editors Blog the technology supporting the 麻豆官网首页入口's blogs is not working as well as it should. But rather than delaying launching this blog until all the problems were fixed I decided to get something live, even if it's not perfect. Thanks to everyone at the 麻豆官网首页入口 who made it happen.

Comments on this blog will be moderated. Due to the technical limitations mentioned, comments will be premoderated. So comments will be read before a decision is made whether to publish them. I aim to include as many comments as possible, but comments which are abusive, offensive, defamatory or wildly off topic may not be published.

When the current technical difficulties are resolved I hope to move this blog to post moderation so that the conversation can flow more easily.

If you want to discuss what the 麻豆官网首页入口 does editorially on its News websites and its television and radio news services, go to the 麻豆官网首页入口 News Editors Blog. The 麻豆官网首页入口 blogs page shows the full range of where you can talk to the 麻豆官网首页入口 through blogs. If you want to make things with 麻豆官网首页入口 feeds, I recommend a visit to the rather wonderful .

Leaving a comment on the blog, is not the same as making a formal complaint. If you want to do that, this website will help you - and this way, you're guaranteed to receive a formal response.

Let battle commence!

Hello and welcome to the 麻豆官网首页入口 Internet Blog. The aim of this blog is to have an open, direct, and hopefully lively conversation about everything we do, and plan to do, on bbc.co.uk and all our on-demand platforms (such as interactive TV and mobile).

The 麻豆官网首页入口 has always had a commitment to engaging with our audience, and we now receive millions of inbound messages a day across email, message boards and blog postings, but I think we have been slow to embrace blogs as a way of discussing our strategy and direction. This often leads to the debate happening elsewhere, based often on only half the information, and without our being able fully to join in the debate. We've not done ourselves any favours, and we want to use this blog to re-engage with our friends and critics.

The passion with which people let us know their views shows that they care. We should be much more worried if one day the 'in-coming' fell away: this would mean we'd lost our relevance: what we do, and the decisions we make - from what content we publish over I.P., to how we distribute it, to how we enable our audiences to engage with it and share it - would have become of no interest.

This blog is a small step, a start towards a closer understanding and a deeper level of engagement with the people who pay for the 麻豆官网首页入口, and who care about the decisions we make. If we get it right, we can perhaps harness the (or the as it used to be called) to arrive at better strategies, products, and services to help keep the 麻豆官网首页入口 relevant in the digital age.
