At present, the iPlayer provides a short sidebar listing one's most recently viewed programmes, I wish to:
a) See what I have watched
b) See when I have watched it
c) See how many times I watch a certain programme
d) Reassign some programmes to different individuals that use this account/browser/cookie combination (i.e. exclude Timmy Time from my stats)
e) Optionally publish this information publicly, so that viewers with similar habits could find me, for example.

Many bloggers, fansite managers and wiki projects want to use stills and short video clips from BBC TV and radio shows.

However the contracts that the BBC has with the artists (actors, directors, writers) would make this use impossible without charging fees for "re-broadcast rights".

Being a typical Brit I'm obsessed with the weather, but don't always have time to prowl around weather sites to find the forecast.

The BBC helpfully provide RSS feeds for their weather observations and forecasts, which could be displayed in an RSS reader.

But, being a Twitterer, I thought "How about sending the Feeds for a certain location to a dedicated Twitter account?"

They're fairly compact, but still exceed the 140 character limit imposed by Twitter. A combination of the information from the Title and Description would be useful, since both convey slightly different information; but there's a fair amount of repetition which could be stripped out.

I want to be kept up to date with the BBCs programs. I dont want to hunt for the guide every now and then, or turn on the TV to check whats on.

The general content articles such as those in the regional pages don't have social networking tags. So if you find any interesting article buried somewhere in the BBC website it isn't so fluid to share. See example:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blackcountry/content/articles/2009/02/24/momma_parsons_fag gots_feature.shtml

BBC News does it well, and has extensive social networking tags.

The BBC now owns the twitter account bbc but isn't sure what to do with it.

There is a video outlining the problem and some of the solutions.

Innovation appears to be a key way to solve many human/itarian problems. The space that this happens in is critical.

We are looking to collaborate with others who feel the same to create this entity. Please contact me vie the www.Whymandesign.com email addy to get invovled as we have exciting offers at the moment and need likeminded people to work with.


We are creating a self sustaining organisation that will provide a
location for young people to access the internet and collaborate
together all over the world in hard to reach areas and are looking to
produce this with an existing organisation that will benefit too. Could
we run this self sustaining project as part of your project as it would
be an extra service that increases peoples awareness of your great work
while facilitating collaboration on projects. Development website at
www.FREEtraid.org. Who should I talk to about creating Open Space Cafes with your organisation?

We are also looking for funding to kick start the production (as we will donate 100% net profit to fund the social enterprise that young
people create within the spaces ala Traidmark.org). Can you suggest any good sources of
funding?


I also set up the first two Progreso.org.uk cafe's in London creating
viral promotional material for them and volunteered as part of the team
that promoted the http://www.nodel.org/ arts festival in London.

A way to aggregate common topics such as Beebcamp

location vs history for data (like a snow map)

Information pages for every programme in textual format

The BBC should email the public when the new series of enter tv programme starts again

iPlayer would be more useful to me if I could get alerts that programs I was interested in were available, chances are I would miss the window for watching them less.

It would also be really good if I could be alerted before my program was about to start on terrestrial TV.

Theres been lots of talk about the BBC promoting Twitter in directly by mentioning it a lot on TV and Radio. So to avoid further problems and to keep control of there own destiny I'm proposing a range of solutions.

This was an idea that someone mooted on b3ta a while back and I think it would be really useful. I tend to listen to music or other audio while I work through a downloaded app such as itunes or Winamp or whatever. People are always sending me interesting video clips or other media via email and invariably I have to mess around with mute buttons and the like to switch between the different media both online and offline. It's a faff and I want it to be simpler.

bit.ly, snurl, tinyurl are used by the BBC and many others.

What doesn't the BBC have its own short URL service?

Sometimes I would like to find news that is happening in a certain area. This area might be quite small and I might be less interested in how recent the news is.

I may for example want to find all news that happened near my house in the last year.

In a little less than 4 years time, the world's eyes will be watching the Olympics in London, but in just that short amount of time, the way we view sports as a spectator will have changed incredibly. Everyday we are demanding more interactivity, more information presented to us in the way we want it, the whole rip-mix-burn culture will expect to the same with the BBC coverage of the 2012 games.

The types of devices that we will be using to watch the olympics and other sporting events will be different than they are today. The computers of 4 years ago were a fraction of the power of the machines we use today. Mobile phones will be as powerful, if not more, than the computer used to type this. So with all that power in small mobile devices, how can it be harnessed to better enhance the experience of spectators?

There isn't enough David Tennant or Dr Who on TV, we need more.

Half of the fun of doing the lottery is watching and waiting as the numbers roll out of the machine and checking them against your ticket. However, more and more people now just check their numbers online at http://www.bbc.co.uk/lottery/. This doesn't seem as exciting.

BBC news reporters may not be on site as something happens and therefore miss the opportunity to take the relevant pictures. If anybody could become content creator, more compelling content could be created. There needs to be a "feedback channel" though.
