What does everyone think of Sky News Active - is it any good and why has the BBC and ITN not followed suit? Are there any major advantages to it?

There are obvious good and bad points to any interactive service - frankly the current layout and colour scheme leaves much to be desired but hopefully this will be re-designed when it goes octo-screen in the near future.

The BBC does plan to have an interactive news service similar to Sky News Active - but I am not sure of any form of deadline for when it will appear on our screens .. watch out for the red active dot though!!
