Pic of the Day: h2g2 MOT
Post categories: innovation
| 09:55 UK time, Thursday, 13 August 2009
At the time this picture is published I'll be in a room with other ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ people doing the h2g2 MOT.
Thanks for all your comments on Seetha's post, which have stimulated a lot of conversation in the office in the past week.
We won't be able to give you instant feedback (and some things in the room may have to remain in the room). But expect a blog post giving a flavour of what was discussed early next week.
Nick Reynolds is Social Media Executive, ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Online, ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Future Media & Technology

That's not to say I don't love it the way it is - it's a very special site that I love to bits. It's time for the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ to show some affection for it, too!

If they put more than 3 lines of h2g2 on the bbc home page than more people might notice -i must admit I found the website that way so more coverage should therefore equal more people on the site.

"Did anybody mention the Search Engine?"
Specifically, the thread search function. There's a clunky but usable "Search the Guide" if you have the patience to click through to each result until you find what you're looking for, but the "Search the Conversation Forums" is stone dead.
"We're sorry, but your search for '[whatever]' didn't find any results in any DNA sites. You might like to check the spelling of your search term, or you could try searching the whole of bbc.co.uk using the search box in the tool bar above." is the response to every search, and has been for six years or more.

I'm sure the 'MOT results blog' will have many readers. Could a copy of the main entry also be posted on h2g2 itself? I'm sure it'll be a 'reference' for a long time to come.

It would seem that by signing in to h2g2 or ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Online you automatically become a ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Blogger and part of the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Blogg Network. As a silver surfer who just lurks around with little or no technical knowhow would someone point me to the rules and conditions for this practice. I created a personal space on h2g2, I am not sure that I want the space/profile that is being created on my behalf.
/blogs/profile/?userid=197657
Is it the intention to develop the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Blogg Network along h2g2 lines using the DNA engine ?

More to come was promised. Give us a clue as to what is going on.
What control will members/researchers have over their own profile ?
