Hi Dan,

Thanks for your reply.

The will to "swerve" (are we inventing a new web term?) depends on whether web users wish to replicate their "old-media" experiences. The same old newspapers, magazines and television channels are there should they be needed; what's different about the web is that it not only encourages curiosity but facilitates it. Emails, downloads and search engines (so long as the savvy can navigate SEOs) enable web users to explore what a daily publication of, say 48 pages, can't. Yes, it's very easy to rely on the same old sites like, dare one say it, the BBC, (and I certainly do) but there are other news sources and not all of them are conglomerates. Some are the archetypal man on the street.

Newsagents can't stock everything; the net can.

Of course, newspapers don't have edit buttons either. Not much of a revolution, is it, Dan? ;)
Rushes sequences - general views - Aleks Krotoski (Video) 1:56pm on 27 Oct 2009 Superb images. All you need is a slide guitar. :) Aleks did a fine job of not shouting, "I'm gettin' paid for this! Woo-hoo!"

I remember a certain (orange?) hair-do that a young computer games reviewer used to disport. Heh.

I note that the video does not use a Creative Commons licence but your own BBC DigRev licence. Could you clarify - is it possible to download and chop up the contents? I think musicians at sites such as CCMixter and Vimeo would love to work with such a high-quality video.
Stephen Fry on your attempts to re-name the Digital Revolution series 1:45pm on 27 Oct 2009 Call it DigRev. The internet is impatient and is thus always coining new words or squeezing phrases together. DigRev does the job - and it can also be seen as an imperative. ;)
Rushes Sequences - Arianna Huffington interview - USA (Video) 1:40pm on 27 Oct 2009 Dear DigRev,

Please give us an "edit" button. I've just noticed numerous typos that I can't correct. I even got "Arianna" wrong. Oh, the shame of it...
