Will George's BBC offer social media leadership and audience interaction ? On Twitter, @BBCDG is not our new leader, but an occasionally potty-mouthed wag with some previous in news, radio and local radio, and probably based closer to Manchester than London, by my triangulation. George himself is on Twitter, but as a lurker, not a contributor.
Only one of George's old Vision team seem to be on Twitter - Zai Bennett is also a non-tweeting lurker. Of course, the others may be there under deep cover, as per Prince Harry's creation of Spike Wells. It's hard to believe Danny Cohen isn't in there somewhere. His wife, Noreena Hertz, is, with 15,887 followers - and has just been appointed UK chair of "public interest" social media campaigners, Fenton, as well as joining a list of 101 of the world's most innovative people (with Jimmy Wales, Richard Branson and David Beckham).
Acting Director of BBC Vision, Roger Mosey, who, in his role running Olympics coverage, blogged, tweeted and engaged like a good 'un, is clearly considering his social media future. He's tweeted about visits to the Dr Who set and how much he enjoyed "Our War" on BBC3. But here's another recent exchange...
Peak @Peakthinking @rogermosey How is the new job? Any big decisions like cutting E-Enders to give more uplifting TV time to 'Road to Rio' Olympic sports?
Roger Mosey @rogermosey
@Peakthinking I think the acting role rules out answering questions like that!
Peak @Peakthinking @rogermosey 'Acting' perhaps but if they give you the big chair best take advantage and make the big calls
