Hi gang. Long time no see.
Rather disappointed that you totally missed the point about the Digital Revolution documentary, Michael. It’s not an example of send-us-your-stuff-in-youtube/twitter-sized-chunks-and-we’ll-broadcast-it-unthinkingly television. At all.
Take another look at your second link above, which describes what it’s all about and you’ll see that the team are trying to “open up the production process as much as possible; to share as much of our thinking as possible, as the production team strive to create a cohesive, accurate and relevant documentary about the World Wide Web. We’ll be blogging as we go; we’ll share our theories; we’ll be putting up rushes from the filming; we’ll be asking for advice and stories from you as we go along.”
It’s about giving the public a chance to influence the production of a major BBC documentary about the history and future of the web by having constructive debates and discussions using the web, while also sharing what they can about the process before during and after things happen to get feedback and fresh ideas.
(Disclaimer: in my role as the social media guy for BBC television, I’ve been helping the team with their approach. Not that they need much help; a more switched on and web-savvy bunch of people would be hard to find).
Hi Roo, great to hear from you… I do think that the open development aspect as described in the blog is different from what I got while we did the show. The second post did not make it to me in time for reading before the show. The larger point I was trying to make was that many modern media companies have not done a good job of leveraging social media in a meaningful way. I think it would be great, if you are available closer to the November date, if you could come on the show and perhaps provide a bit of insight of how it’s coming along.
