Simply BBC
Following on from the Simply Google idea that he came up with a little while ago (which I re-coded for him in nice standards-based markup with unobtrusive scripts) Chris McEvoy has done the same thing with the BBC. Predictably entitled Simply BBC, it’s another one-stop entrance to all things BBC. And once again, it’s based on the CSS-based version that I provided for the precursor. As with the Google idea, what it’s done for me is reveal sections of the BBC’s site that I never knew existed (or at least wasn’t that bothered about going out to find). In other words, it’s all about improving the discoverability factor. Try it out, see what you think.
