So this is number two in an endless series of posts (ok it\u2019s probably more like two of two) about websites that are maturing very nicely in "Web 2.0 era\u201d<\/p>\n

The BBC website had a bit of a facelift not that long ago to help make the most of modern screen resolutions (nice post by Ric Shreves about the history of the visual look is here<\/a>) and to accommodate the various types of media the BBC are now pushing<\/p>\n

The sports section of the site is a great example <\/p>\n

If you have any interest in Football (soccer) you\u2019ll know it\u2019s the European Championships at the moment. They has always been match results, reports, etc but it was the recent inclusion of video I\u2019ve been impressed with. <\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The site has included various audio clips for some time (and more recently video interviews) on articles but actual video footage of matches has been missing. As well as technical reasons I\u2019m guessing there have been broadcast rights issues but it always struck me as weird in this day and age that if you didn\u2019t catch a live broadcast or a scheduled highlights show that was it\u2026you\u2019d missed out! <\/p>\n

Fortunately now you can watch the live match online as well getting highlights and interviews as part of the match report and the design and layout of page works well so that the videos \u201cflow\u201d with the page<\/p>\n

The page also has the social bookmarking buttons you see on lots of pages now (digg, delicious, facebook, etc)<\/p>\n

Coupled with the recent success of the iPlayer and last week\u2019s announcement to create web pages for over 80 years worth of broadcasting<\/a> (with clips i imagine!) it certainly shows where our licensing fee is going!<\/p>\n

That said though it\u2019s great to see such a rich media experience online\u2026it\u2019s the way the web should be \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
