A birthday announcement
Oct 30th, 2007 by handolio
A moment, if you will, to mark a milestone dear to our hearts. Some time this week, BBC News Online marks its tenth year.
Though I frequently knock it, there’s a lot to love about the site and what it represents - the availability of almost its entire archive, for example.
Charmingly, unlike most other sites out there, stories appear visually as they did on the day they were written. It’s a useful record of how the sophistication of online news has increased over the years.
It’s also a reminder to anyone writing today that things are still changing, and that in ten years’ time, future trends will have made what we’re all doing now look as quaint as the BBC’s early stories.
