The team at ReadWriteWeb has written up on a beta project from the BBC around a personalised homepage concept, where users can decide for themselves which modules appear where, and how much of a particular subject they want to see. The page design is a lot more “Web 2.0″, with hues of purple and grey replacing the traditional blue, and the search function improved, with the added options of searching through news stories or audio and video content. They’ve also brought the blogs section to the fore, highlighting the post by Richard Titus, acting head of user experience and design at the BBC, in which he outlines thoughts behind the redesign, which focuses on simplicity, personalisation, localisation and a dab of nostalgia – with the inclusion of an analogue clock circa 1980.
