Broadcast 2.0 and BBC's iPlayer
Anthony Rose, head of the iPlayer online broadcasting project for the BBC, is working towards a social networking player where your friends are going to choose what you watch. Upcoming iPlayer features include ratings and discussions that will be restricted to networks of friends, rather than the public (..like Facebook?). The new version will be rolled out in 2009, but whether these new features will increase its popularity is doubtful.
