- Project manager Helen Papadopoulos blogs on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Genome which will "bring the broadcast history of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ to life". Genome involves creating of an online catalogue of every Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ programme ever broadcast and it starts by scanning every issue of the Radio Times.
- Roly Keating, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Director of Archive Content, introduces the latest online archive collection featuring British novelists in their own words and goes on to talk about the importance of putting historically important material online.

Broken link: you quote "Erik Hugger's post HTML5, open standards, and the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ." but it appears the link needs editing from /blogs/bbcinternet/2010/08/html5_open_standards_and_the_b.html%3Cbr%20/%3E [ I guess a line break sneaked in] to corrected
