BBC Malkovich
Blood, sweat and no small acount of tears have gone into this design.
It aint perfect but it represents some of our ideas that we liked when discussing the concept of BBC 2.0. Them being:
1) A network of people that make up a layer over the top of the BBC architecture.
2) The kind of Malkovich, see the BBC through someone else's eyes, fascinating PERSPECTIVE.
3) Being able to personalize around your interests.
4) "Remixing" BBC content by selecting with your mouse and clicking a button or using right click or clicking a link to blog a story and be able to write alongside it, comment on it, remix it maybe.
5) Finding people with similar interests.
6) Being able to view activity on your interests pages. The kind of voyeuristic thing that fascinates users.
7) Having a community based around your street / postcode.
8) Not losing the BBC's ability to show you things you didnt know about - hence the slider above the latest items on the site.
9) Slanting the bias of the page towards the user and his content, his world in the BBC.
Some memorable quotes from our brainstorms:
"The BBC should be the church of the 21st Century"
"How about we call it BBC Terrence?"
