Changing headlines 1:17pm on 20 Nov 2009 Oops, its another one that's less descriptive, despite being longer.
Your stories: Cockermouth floods
or
Eyewitness: Cockermouth floods

So your stories could be your Aunties half brother 3 times removed telling you about the flood, or, it could be seen by yourself.

Little more thought required to justify this change for journalistic reasons, and a comment to the commercial implications would not go amiss.
Social media focus 12:31pm on 20 Nov 2009 Yes, Twitter would really catch a flavour of the less than 1% of the country [rollseyes]

Someone asking the question at several carefully selected swing constituencies would maybe work better.
Changing headlines 00:04am on 20 Nov 2009 Also
Record October rate for UK public sector borrowing
and
Rise in public sector borrowing

They are two completely different meanings for the same story.
What is the record? Is it a good, or bad one. The second headline gives that, the first doesn't.

Just get to the point in the headline, and leave the information for the story.

This just seems to me to be a grab for overseas readers, who get adverts, and therefore revenue for the BBC, and not a benefit for the Licence payer.
Changing headlines 11:57pm on 19 Nov 2009 Compare
Murderer of have-a-go hero jailed
with
Man jailed after father killed defending his neighbour

I'd take the first, less long-winded version every time.
Changes to international pages (4) 7:55pm on 19 Nov 2009 Thanks BBC, for your adverts for Intercontinental Hotels, and the Airbus A380 while browsing the BBC, while in the UK using Opera Mini.

Does this not break your charter?
Facebook v Ceop 2:40pm on 18 Nov 2009 Gamble just sounded like a bully himself in that interview.
Personally, I'd just ad-block his adverts anyway.

Online responsibility for children lies with the parents, end of discussion.
The anonymous bullies 8:15pm on 16 Nov 2009 I fail to see the point of this blog, particularly the last paragraph.
If the bullying is not anonymous does that make a difference? Of course not. Anonymity makes no difference whatsoever.

Surely the blog should have been about online bullying, fullstop.
Keeping the past alive 1:42pm on 09 Nov 2009 @FranzStrasser: It's not Moby, it's Teardrop by Massive Attack that's used on this clip.

Agree that small sections of the wall/fence should remain as a testimony of mans inhumanity to man.
Orange's 'unlimited' iPhone 6:38pm on 06 Nov 2009 Brilliant Rory, you got the obligatory Twitter mention in an article that is completely unrelated to it.

Way to go.
Melville's millions can restore Dundee 6:28pm on 27 Oct 2009 This isn't a wee blog post to make up for the hastily edited article about SRob, is it Spencey?
