Reboot Winner

Jem Stone

And the winner is

FF Ecosystem and BBC Malkovich

What we liked:
- The way that Andy (and his colleagues ?) have cracked how to reflect content, conversations and data taking place away from bbc.co.uk
- That nod to Being John Malkovich - seeing "our" content through someone else's eyes, that letting go, neatly articulates some of the new challenges for a BBC2.0
- How it also has several answers to the query posed to us by Jeff Jarvis after a recent visit; "shouldn’t your role be to guide viewers/listeners/readers/users/us to the best information and programmes you can help us find"
- As with several of the runners up, this was a design you wanted to have. now. (even if, on reflection, some of our more practically minded colleagues expressed a few concerns!.)
- This is a simple page/front end for a hideously complex amount of data.
- Actually it was the BBC - You - Everybody else slider that swung it. A brilliant idea for a widget.
- And mentioning the tears that had gone into producing the concept.


My boss is a Spurs fan. A devoted Spurs fan. Clearly MattB (the sample user) is a gooner . Don't say we aren't going out on a limb in plumping for this one.

Actually this was really tough. Apologies to everyone who has put aside many hours submitting entries. I think you're supposed to say "You're all winners" at this point. Unfortunately you're not. Just FF Ecosystem are but full respect to everyone who committed hours and effort as part of this competition.

We will be contacting Andy(and his colleagues) today and hopefully getting him into the BBC soonish to hand over his prize.

Full list of the runners up.
