The Beeb’s long awaited commercial web-site has finally arrived. The bold site achieves the almost impossible, the clever design manages to give the busy pages a spacious quality. The information does not overwhelm the viewer. Lead your mouse around the page for a casual dip into any area that interests you.
Sports fanatics will welcome Scorewatch; it opens a small version of Netscape which remains in the corner of your screen and lets you keep an eye on the test match scores while you work. And, if you want to know the facts behind the figures, Scorewatch magazine gives you all the sports news your heart could possibly desire.
The Beeb is an umbrella site for a growing number of BBC branded sites. Scorewatch is joined by the Radio Times and Top Gear sites. The Radio Times is a comprehensive listings service which tells you exactly what is showing on the box in your TV region, while Top Gear is the place to park to bring yourself up to date with the world of wheels.
The Beeb is a good site but it still has a great deal of untapped potential. It is blessed with the authority of the BBC name and it should exploit it. The BBC is synonymous with news and The Beeb would benefit from an authoritative news site to tie its other feature areas together.
