I posted the following over on Read/Write after coming across this study here at Bivings. Some people might not realise that the BBC is actually a huge network of websites rather than a single-standalone site so it would be easy to look at one of our websites when doing a study like this and miss something that we're not doing there but are doing elsewhere. It appears that Read/Write did exactly this, missing our links to social bookmarking and recommendation websites and some of our RSS features, as well some more forward thinking ideas like embedding youtube and flickr content into our pages. Here's what I said in my comment on the original study: I'm not sure where you looked on the BBC website(s) to come up with your data, but the BBC has all the things you tried to measure. The default for our blogs, for example, is to have links allowing visitors to add the post to a variety of social bookmarking and recommendation sites including del.icio.us, digg, newsvine, nowpublic and reddit. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/manchester as an example. A smaller number of our blogs are experimenting with using Technorati favourites, Google and Icerocket. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/worldhaveyoursay/ for an example. Additionally, we've also got quite a few blogs that pull in photos from programme or site specific flickr group pools, one of our radio stations has rented an Island on myspace, various BBC websites are playing around with posting content on youtube and/or using the "blog this" option on youtube to pull content from there into the BBC website. Here's a post that does just that: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/anniemac/2007/01/silly_noise_fest.shtml There have been a number of experiments with one-click RSS subscription chicklets to subscribe to our RSS feeds but, at the moment, I am unable to find an active page with this option. We do, however, list a number of RSS readers on our RSS informaiton page and we also enable users to create their own feed (far cooler and more useful in my opinion than a "click this logo" option) based on search terms.

Other than that it is mostly based on overall circulation, with larger publications throwing more features in than smaller ones. But you are right. It would be interesting to look at.

This could be along any number of dimensions, from the content side (automobile, chemical, trade journals in general, academic, business, etc.) to the geographic (both intra-U.S. as well as international). This might bring out a better picture of what areas are driving changes and, like you mention in your post, how these technologies are being used.
