Wordle

Previous Newsnight editor Peter Rippon (a former colleague) has dipped his toe in the tricky world of blog-writing again. This time, it's about his work as Editor, Online Archive for News.

I worry he's caught a slight case of new media-speak; it's about one of these "Connected Studio" events, where start-ups brainstorm ways of mincing up existing BBC data and making new sausages.

Peter ruminates towards the end thus.

Finally archive also has really potency to drive nostalgia and connect with audiences emotionally. Social networks, and the instinct that drives people to share content, is often driven by a similar emotional power. So how can we exploit that apparently similar sensibility ?

Run that past me again, would you ?
