It's good to be busy. In the pile of links today:
plusnet shows a graph about :
Streaming traffic on the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú iPlayer hit 1.7 Gbits/second this afternoon, a record for a political steam...
from the Guardian. Anthony Rose (ex Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú iPlayer, now Chief Technology Officer for YouView), is quoted:
"There are seven shareholders, clearly they are all contributing their money for some purpose; but to me, it's a little bit like the [movie] . There's a body somewhere, police have arrested eight people, they've all done something in the past but they are probably not directly connected with this... When you see the way the user experience team and the technologists work to solve very basic problems it becomes very clear that it's nothing to do with these cartel aspersions."
Crave takes a robust view of YouView: While in comments on the story Andy Dandy is even more robust:
A real step forward. C'mon you Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú! iPlayer, Yoooooooooou Vieeeeeeeeeeeeeew. Knock em dead.
To my embarrassment I missed Steve Herrmann's post about "Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú News Linking Policy" earlier this week.
Broadband TV News reports Erik Huggers' post about Net Neutrality:
A FOI request from Robert Holmes about the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú and from What Do They Know reveals:
"Our HR department has conducted a search for all those staff with 'social media' either in their job title or in the department name. This search identifies 20 individual staff equivalent to 19.6 FTE."
Bat Signal
Roo Reynolds (one of those Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú staff with ) on his personal blog:
"It's a secret bat-signal. A neat solution to a tricky editorial problem... It works for all microblogging services, and doesn't give undue prominence to Twitter".
Nick Reynolds is another of those twenty people: Social Media Executive, Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Online
