I've just spotted that the UK Government's Department for Business and Regulatory Reform (BERR) has launched its own YouTube channel (I wonder if it's the handiwork of @neilyneil?).
One of the first videos uploaded is a piece to camera by Lord Carter talking about his recently published Digital Britain report:
Pleasingly BERR have opened up the comment section to allow viewers to discuss and feedback on Lord Carter's report.
Unfortunately, no-one has contributed yet. See Joss's comment below. Looking again this morning it seems the comment option is now turned. I'm sure it wasn't yesterday when I looked... looks like BERR are trying to drive discussion to their own destination www.digitalbritainforum.org.uk which, in its own words, is a "discussion site ...created by the Secretariat for the
Digital Britain Steering Board, to provide a space for you to engage
with us directly in an online debate about Digital Britain." Wow! The "Secretariat for the
Digital Britain Steering Board" - how social is that :)
It's worth noting that there is already a huge volume of discussion of the report online. Just take a look at a Twitter search for the hashtag #digitalbritain. I'd recommend Lord Carter get online himself and started engaging in the discussions already happening.
Technorati tags: BERR, Lord Carter, Digital Britain
There's something wrong with their comment moderation. They say that comments are moderated (under 'House Rules') but they offer no indication of it when posting a comment. I know of several people that have commented and seen their comments posted but they all think they're the first to comment. A technical problem they should have tested first. Anyway, unmoderated discussion has been taking place elsewhere for the last two weeks as they note on their About page.
