I guess it was on a pretty prominent place on the website, but I still think they should have left it longer… defintely a case of old media clashing with new media.

Nice coverage of this today – but I really think that they had to take it down. Brits being British – it really could have ended up anywhere, and it was on a pretty prominent place on their website.

It was a good idea that wasn’t really thought through – and it’s a shame because it did all add up to a PR nightmare for them. I’m still of the opinion that you can’t really give people full access – there is still a need for an editor or moderator in the process at some point.

They were a little too eager and it ended up being quite funny. There will be plenty of the old media lot who think that this is very funny, and the new media brigade could do with learning a lesson or two.

Good coverage and a nice little post.

Peter
