BBCi

So today, the BBC have launched BBCi. This affects it's internet services and digital services. BBC Online has seen a dramatic change overnight. Also, the BBCi logo has appeared on DSAT and DTT text services.

What are people's opinions? Does anyone have any screenshots?

The BBC's digital text changes look rather good, especially the News section. I wish they wouldn't 'crumple' up the picture though, it looks so awful like that!

As for the BBC website, well I'm not sure. Parts of it are OK, but I think the old design had it's advantages.

And on BBC Text Cable services.

What's different about BBCi Text?

Well, on Cable we have the interactive services (not Text) as there is a seperate button for that - although not currently functioning! And there's no difference to thses except on the homepage there's a blue and grey look. It's quite nice.

On the subject of BBC Text, I emailed Ceefax@bbc.co.uk with some questions and comments about the differences between Cefax and BBC Text and haven't heard anything back... has anyone had similar stony silence from Auntie?

I don't like it.

Ugly, too grey, more color needed!!!

I take it the BBC have joined the 640x800, Monochrome Monitor Appreciation Society - Make the pages bigger!! I dread to think what it looks like on 1600x1200!!

Here's a short flash movie about BBCi

There was a new look advert for BBC i Weather on BBC TWO this afternoon.

I have just seen BBCi digitext on Sky D, like the new top banner designs, very impressed!

Is Ceefax called BBCi Text now?

Also, anyone noticed, how annoying that top bar is...
