First BBC programme on blogging! Radio Five Live – Julian Worricker

Posted on October 2, 2005March 3, 2015

I was a guest speaker with Suw and Saira on what I believe is the first BBC programme to give blogging a 30 minute slot. (The programme is available here until 9th October 2005). It was well put together by Clare and I think offered a very balanced view on the subject.

I’m not sure how long Robert and Hugh etc have been blogging for but I guess its better late than never for the UK mainstream media to start discussing blogging.

I was incredibly nervous sat in a studio here in Cambridge all on my own with one of those old fashioned BBC table microphones.

Web applications unplugged

Could Morfik be the company that Robert is hoping Microsoft will buy? It certainly is a very interesting product “offers developers the opportunity to create web applications that run on the desktop after being unplugged from the web” This would mean for instance that a product like gmail could run even with the web disconnected this would be a major breakthrough for developing internet nations where net connections are so difficult to obtain.
