bookmark_borderBloggers on the Radio

Listen to the show (requires Real Player).

Very interesting, especially the first half, trying to put faces (sites) to the voices. Well done to Margaret for pulling the whole thing together, and to everyone involved.

It is a little odd though, remembering reading some of the posts and my interpretation of them and then balancing that against the author reading what he/she wrote and giving it their own emphasis. The best example is Peter’s comments about the MTV invasion of Leith which becomes a lot more powerful a message with the author’s voice inserting the pauses and emphasis as he planned. Of course, he is a seasoned radio pro, so probably had an unfair advantage…

Here’s the list of participants (that I couldn’t find earlier).

The day Britain stopped.

As usual I missed the thing everyone is talking about (here in the office, and in blog-land). Thankfully I can watch it tonight as the BBC have provided the whole thing in a Real Player stream.

However it does kinda limit my participation in any discussions about it, but from what I’ve read it certainly doesn’t seem beyond the bounds of reality. Even in my personal experience there is evidence of the ‘network’ reaching breaking point. I was stuck on a train for two hours a couple of weeks ago because the train in front of ours had broken down. I spent 4 years travelling daily on trains when I was at University some 9 -10 years ago and never once experienced a delay like that.
