25 hour day

I am a fan of BBC news. They cover stories that you don’t hear about here in US.
However, when I browsed to BBC web site I wanted to puke.

It has all the functionality that I don’t care for…
It lets you customize the site to your preferences (choose colors, etc…)
It breaks down the site into boxes that you can drag around from one corner to another.
It lets you configure which news you want to see.

Who cares, I want to read news. I’m not here to design my bbc web page.

In the end, the site looks boxy and plain ugly.

I say that web designers for BBC need to get together and browse through New York Times or Guardian

BBC’s web site needs an overhaul.

Get rid of all that customization junk.

Choose a clean layout.

Put your news first!

I don’t watch TV that much and when I do I gravitate to Discovery, History or TLC channel.
Recently I discovered current_ network, (channel 101 on my Time Warner cable box).
The concept: viewers send in their videos and Current_ runs them.
I like that concept. It works.
You get interesting stories and footage that you wouldn’t get anywhere
