Because to my knowledge that would be something new. I may be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that social networks do not offer the breadth of content that the iplayer has, and the iplayer does not offer the breadth of social interactivity that social networks do. If the BBC manages to connect the two, they’re onto a winner.

Not surprised they’re nervous about off site embed syndication, will be interesting to see how the outcome of the election affects this aspect of BBC planning.
